Synergy on Windows 7

I love Synergy and have been using it for years. Now that I have some Windows 7 machines I wanted to use it on them as well as my XP and Ubuntu systems.  The problem I was having was the Ctrl+Alt+Pause key would not work to send Ctrl+Alt+Del to the client Windows 7 system.  So after some digging around i found this site.

Basically you need to change the policy to enable software Secure Attention Sequence.  You can follow the instructions on that site or just add the following to your system:



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"SoftwareSASGeneration"=dword:00000001
