I tried looking for an answer to this, but didn't have much luck. I have a MacBook Pro(Intel) and I just installed Windows 7 on Bootcamp side cause VM Fusion doesn't give me as much control working on wireless networks for clients. How do I get the Delete button to work so I can log in? And yes, I have to log in that way since machine is part of a domain. Thanks!

I don't have my laptop on a domain, but the fn+delete key is the traditional delete button, so I'd try ctrl+alt+(fn+delete)

I forgot to mention that is the first thing I tried and it does not work. Even when using to on screen keyboard I have to push the CTRL and ALT keys by hand and use the mouse to get Delete to work. I did not have this issue with XP installed. I'm guessing something changed with Win 7...

Hmm, I've read (although not confirmed) that you might be able to do:

ctrl + Option(alt) + Command + fn + delete

in that specific order. If that doesn't work, you may need to get into windows and see about remapping the keys...

I got it working now! Had to download the latest version of Boot Camp and Boot Camp Tools(Version 4). Once I did that and installed the tools in Windows, (Not OS X!) it works like a champ!

Cool. I assumed you had the latest version of bootcamp drivers installed, I probably should have asked to make sure.
