Remote Desktop CTRL+ALT+DEL request

R

Robb Pierce

How do i send a ctrl alt delete request to the remote
computer when connected remotely. I went through the
options and under local resources changed the "Apply
Windows Key combinations" box to "On the remote computer"
and it still applies it on the host computer.

Of course. It's a special key, and as Help points out you can't assign it remotely (nothing can intercept it as it's used to ensure you are logging on to Windows not to a password stealing program that looks like window's logon).

Again Help lists the alternative shortcuts.

Ctrl-Alt-Del cannot normally be redirected/intercepted

What are you actually trying to do?

If you want to get to task manager, try right-clicking the taskbar

If you want to log off - that should show up on the Start button menu

If you want to lock the computer - it already appears locked on the local
screen when you are remotely logged in.

While you are in a remote session, under the Start Menu/Settings there should
appear a "Windows Security..." item which gets you the same popup that you
usually get when you press C-A-D

I did not realize that this worked - until I tried it on the cursor pad in
between the Numpad and the QWERTY section instead of on the Numpad.
(I usually use the Numpad for my cursoring).
It appears that the two End keys are not the same.

Additional - to leave the machine locked with you still logged on and
applications left running, choose "disconnect" instead of "log off".

You can also use the usual methods to close the remote window (Alt-F4 while
having something on the desktop selected instead of in some application, click
the X at the top-right corner, or double-click the icon at the top-left
corner). It should tell you that it is going to leave applications running,
etc.

Just make a shortcut to taskmgr.exe instead. You can't send c-a-d to a
remote desktop, unless it's Windows Server 2003.
