Alt+Tab stopped working remotely, but settings are correct

I've been using Remote Desktop for a couple months, and it works
great. Just yesterday, though, I noticed that when I press Alt+Tab,
it is no longer sent to the remote computer but is instead handled by
the local computer.

The local computer is Win2K, remote is WinXP Pro SP2. When I
right-click the .rdp icon and choose Edit, the "Local Settings" tab
says to apply combintions to the remote computer. But they are being
applied locally.

What's going on?

Thanks,

Barry

You might want to try Alt + Page Up. Some keyboard combinations
are reserved to only work on the local computer. Take a look here
for the alternatives that are used on the remote machine:

Before you make the connection in RDC
Click the Options button and look at the Local Resources Tab

As I said in my original message, I've already done that, and they are
correct but not working.

Thanks,

Barry

Rebooting the Win2K box solved the problem. Now that I think about,
StickyKeys was enabled and active on the Win2K box, and that was
probably the problem.
