How to ‘free’ the Mouse in Virtual PC 2007

Before you install the virtual PC tools in Windows XP when using the mouse it becomes locked into the virtual PC window.

To release it hold down the right Alt (often Alt Gr) and drag the mouse out of the Virtual PC window.

    Is there any standered settings that can make the mouse pointer move freely from Virtual PC and Local System

    Hey I have got the solution for making the mouse pointer move freely from Virtual PC to the local System.

    Come out of the Virtual PC.

    Click Actions in the menu bar -> Click on Install or Update Virtual Machine Addons

    This will take the files from the existing installation only.

    This steps works
