I installed Windows XPPro as a guest on Win2K Server. XP
joined the WIN2k3 domain OK and on reboot the XP login
prompt comes up as expected. On pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL to
logon, the host task manager comes up. I can't logon to
the virtual XP system at all. I've set XP to run full
screen, and the keyboard options are set to allow Windows
keys on 'full-screen mode on guest operating system' I'm
missing something really obvious here - what? How can I
logon to the guest XP system? Help appreciated please..

This is covered in the help - you press the right ALT key (or whatever key
you have selected for the "Host Key") and Del to send a CTRL-ALT-DEL to a
guest OS.
See the help about Host Key and using the keyboard in a VM

Thanks Mike - there's a context-sensitive item on the File
menu (Send CTRL-ALT-DEL) that I missed - Doh! I didn't
see this in the Help at all..
