KVM switch help. (switch pc's with desktop shortcut?)

Hey all, I'm really not sure where to post this question, so I'm gonna pull a no no, and double post it over in the software forum as well. But I thought I'd ask here too.

I have a simple KVM switch hooking up two PC's to one keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Problem is, you can only switch PC's if you're sitting at the keyboard, so you can hit the key-sequence, (Scroll-lock, Scroll-lock, up-arrow.) But I connect to my PC's remotely quite a bit. And I would like to be able to just connect to one, and then switch PC's via the KVM. Really not sure if this is possible. But if it is possible, is there a way to create a desktop shortcut that mimics the key sequence to change pc's?

My KVM is a simple cable based Belkin model.
Thanks.
