Proper way of getting cursor out of virtual machine?

Source: microsoft.public.virtualpc
Sent: 01/21/2005

Message:

Is it standard behavior for the cursor to get "stuck" inside the virtual
machine window? It seems the only way to get it out is by pressing
ctrl+alt+del which pops open the host's task manager and gets the cursor out.
Just wondering if there was a more "elegant" way of doing this. Thanks.

Yes.

Per the docs, you press the host-key, which is defined by default as
the right alt key.

If you're using a Windows OS, install the VPC Additions to allow mouse
integration (the mouse will move freely between the VM and host)
