Calculator keyboard shortcut key invokes calc.exe on guest and host, even in exclusive mode

As the subject says, in VMWare workstation 9, if I am running Windows 8.1 as a VM and I am in dual monitor, exclusive mode... if I tap the calculator shortcut keyboard button on my Microsoft keyboard, the calc.exe opens up in BOTH the Windows 8.1 guest and the Windows 7 host.

 

Are there any tweaks to the vmx file to make exclusive mode actually fully exclusive?  The only keyboard shortcuts I would imagine would be CTRL+ALT and CTRL+ALT+DEL.

 

Or do you know if this bug is fixed in Workstation 10?  It's that much of a nuisance that I would look to purchasing an upgrade.  Yes that big of a deal to me.  Unlocking the computer twice is annoying two (ctrl alt del, unlock win 7 host, unlock win 8 exclusive), but I understand that is a system interrupt where as the calc button should not be.
