Windows XP: Remote Desktop key commands

Came across this link off the tech-recipes.com website. Its some useful key command that allow you to do some things as if you were physically on the machine. I use the Windows Remote Desktop feature almost on a daily basis. One of the problems I have is if I need to reboot the machine or perhaps want to check on a process that is running, etc. Here are those key commands that you can use:

  • Ctrl+Alt+End: Task Manager (acts like Ctrl+Alt+Del).

  • Alt+Page Up or Alt+Page Down: Task Switching (like Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab).

  • Ctrl+Alt+Plus symbol: Puts a snapshot of remote session on clipboard (like PrtScn).

  • Ctrl+Alt+Minus symbol: Puts a snapshot of active window in remote session on clipboard (like Alt+PrtScn).
