Silly question,

I have put one of my VPC 2004 VMs into Full-screen mode and I can't seem to
figure out how to get it back into a regular window. Sure, I can hit
CTRL+ALT+DEL and get my host OS desktop back and open up the little windows
for the other VMS, but whenever I open up this one particular VM it will go
into full-screen mode and I don't want that.

Press the host_key+enter.

You should take a look at the included help in VPC and VS, it can
answer a lot of your questions.

Thanks, I looked at the Help right after I posted this and saw the answer.
Gotta put an easy one out there every now and again for you experts to get
credit for though. :-)

yeah, I know. It happens to everyone, find the answer after posting.
But, the VPC/VS help files have a lot of info that gets overlooked, so
I like to remind every so often.

Mine didn't work, and played around, and managed to find that it wasn't host key + enter on mine.

It was Host Key + Return

Do you have two different keys on your keyboard to en a line?
Enter and Return????

I use UltraVNC for remote control of my home PC,
running Vista64 Premium as host
VPC2007SP1 + additions
W2K SP4 as guest.

Right CTRL + ENTER(Return) works fine for me,
but time to time it refuses to do expected action.
