A. The typical shortcuts, such as Ctrl+Alt+Del for the Security window, don't work in a Terminal Services session and only affect your local session. The table below lists alternatives that work with a Terminal Services session.
Local Combination | Terminal Services Session Equivalent | Use |
|---|---|---|
Ctrl+Alt+Del | Ctrl+Alt+End | Brings up the security dialog box |
Alt+Tab | Alt+PgUp | Displays application selector and moves selection to the right |
Alt+Shift+Tab | Alt+PgDn | As above, but moves the selection to the left |
Alt+Esc | Alt+Insert | Swaps among running applications |
Ctrl+Esc | Alt+Home | Opens the Start menu |
Alt+Spacebar | Alt+Del | Right-clicks the active applications icon button |
Ctrl+Alt+Break | Toggles between window and full screen mode | |
PrtScn | Ctrl+Alt+Plus sign on numeric keypad | Snapshot of full Terminal Services screen |
Alt+PrtScn | Ctrl+Alt+Minus sign on numeric keypad | Snapshot of current window in session |
