Hi guys,
I'm running Parallels and have Excel 2007 running on Windows 7.
When I hit control+option (alt), 2 keys, on their own, the mouse leaves the active window and turns to the black Mac cursor. How do I disable this from happening? Any idea what shortcut this is supposed to be? Can't find it on Mac Settings > Keyboard.
Thanks.

Can't help with your exact question but as a Mac user I STRONGLY recommend using Boot Camp for Excel instead of Parallels. The shortcut functionality is so much better, even with Parallels you still get some unwanted Mac shortcuts (like the one you mention).
