Guys

I'm using a windows keyboard on my x86 custom-built MAC. I have my keys set as below:
Control Command
Alt Option
Windows Control

I needed to do this to get control-C, control-V, etc working like they do on a PC

Now, when I use remote desktop connection to get into my windows 2003 server box, the Control key doesn't work. The Windows key does work fine obviously but that's not what I'm looking for. I want to use the Control key in both the MAC and within my RDP connection

I tried cord as well but it doesn't allow me to remap keys (only has a few options to ignore mac preset keys in sys prefs)

Any possible way to accomplish this remap of keys when inside of a RDP connection?
