following the windows install, did you pop in the Mac OS X install DVD to install the boot camp drivers ?

see page 12 here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/bootcampinstall-setup.pdf

Hehe .. As I suspected .. you need drivers for the apple functions to appear under windows ..This is provided by bootcamp .. as mentioned above you need to install drivers to get full functionality .

You can find the drivers on the install dvd ..Just install them and you will get the bootcamp control panel .
As well as all the functionality you were missing

hope this helps 😀
