ctrl alt Del in Remote Desktop

When connecting to another machine, just about all keyboard actions
are transmitted to the remote machine, i.e. pressing Enter, typing,
pressing the Windows key, etc. However, that is not the case for some
key combinations.

One that has bothered me for a very long time when using Remote
Desktop in Windows is when I press Ctrl + Alt + Del while logged into
the remote computer. Instead of sending the key combo to the remote
computer, it would instead perform the action on my computer!

This was actually intended by Microsoft because there are many cases
where you may not want that to be sent to the remote computer. So, by
default, Ctrl + Alt + Del will only work for the local computer.

So how does one perform this same action on the remote computer? It's
pretty easy actually! In order to send Ctrl + Alt + Del to the remote
PC, just press the following alternate key combination:

Ctrl + Alt + End

That's it! Pretty easy eh? Unfortunately, I tend to use Remote Desktop
rarely and therefore forget this key combo all the time! Also, note
that there are a bunch of other keyboard shortcuts you can use in
Remote Desktop:

Alt + Page Up – Switch between programs (Alt + Tab is the local command)

Ctrl + Alt + End – Display the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc is the
local command)

Alt + Home – Brings up the Start menu on the remote computer

Ctrl + Alt + (+) Plus/ (-) Minus – Minus takes a snapshot of the
active window and plus takes a snapshot of the entire remote desktop
window.

Those are pretty much all of the remote desktop keyboard shortcuts you
will ever need!
