Virtual Machines
</td>
<td>
Most operating systems and applications have keyboard control sequences which have special meaning when pressed. The issue when running virtual machines on a system is that it a decision needs to be made about whether the key sequence keyboard control sequences should be addressed by the host, or passed to the guest operating system running in the currently selected Virtual Machine Connection window. This setting allows a choice to made to have all control sequences handled by the host, always by the virtual machine or only by the virtual machine only if the corresponding Virtual Machine Connection window is in full Screen mode.

Mouse Release Key
</td>
<td>
When running a guest opearing system without the virtual machine drivers installed, clicking in the Virtual machine Connection window causes the mouse pointer focus to be locked into that window. The only way to release the mouse focus so that it can be used on the host desktop is to press the mouse key release sequence which defaults to ''Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow''. This default may be changed by selecting an alternate key sequence from the drop down menu.

User Credentials
</td>
<td>
When a user logs into a system they will do so using login credentials (typically a username and a password). Once logged in, the user may then use the Virtual Machine Connection tool to access the desktop environments of virtual machines. This configuration option instructs Hyper-V to use the credentials used to gain access to the local system to gain access to the guest running the virtual machine. If smart cards are used to gain access this option must be switched off and credentials entered manually when logging to a guest operating system.

Delete Credentials
</td>
<td>
Hyper-V will cache credentials used to gain access to guest virtual machines. To avoid potential security breaches, this option allows any saved credentials to be removed from the system.
