I use Remote Desktop fairly often, but not near as often as Virtual PC. For that reason, I can never seem to remember the keyboard shortcuts for Remote Desktop.
| Remote Desktop Shortcut |
Description |
| CTRL+ALT+END |
Displays Task Manager (Equivalent to CTRL+ALT+DEL) |
| ALT+PAGE UP |
Switch between programs from left to right |
| ALT+PAGE DOWN |
Switch between programs from right to left |
| ALT+INSERT |
Cycle through the programs in most recently used order |
| ALT+HOME |
Display the Start menu. When you are in full screen mode, the Windows button works too. |
| CTRL+ALT+BREAK |
Switch the client computer between a window and a full screen. (Hint: The Break button is to the right of the function Keys and is shared by the Pause key) |
| CTRL + ALT + MINUS (–) |
Places a snapshot of the active window in the Remote Desktop session on the clipboard. Basically a print screen that gets transferred. (Equivalent to ALT+PRINT SCREEN) |
| CTRL + ALT + PLUS (+) |
Places a snapshot of the entire Remote Desktop session window on the clipboard. (Equivalent to PRINT SCREEN) |
| ALT+HOME |
Displays the Start menu. Only works when not in Full Screen mode. |
