Sending Windows commands through RDP Connection Manager

  • 772

Given the Windows Server 2012 charms disconnecting from a server seems difficult outside full screen. Win + C is required to disconnect from the UI.

Can one assign a special key to real-time delegate recipient of windows commands - or must that depend on the application full screen?

  1. For Windows key combinations it's a setting under Local Resources. By default they are sent to the remote computer only when using the full screen.

    For session commands in an RDP session Ctrl-Alt-End brings up the same menu as Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
