I seem to recall Ctrl-Alt-Shift-End having some use for pulling up remote or hidden Task Manager sessions. Long time ago tho so may well have changed

From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 2:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: How to laugh and cry at the same time Full screen RDP triple threat! Scenario: Working from home, I use RDS to RDP to my work PC. I use VisionApp to remote to other PC's (I have to use specific local creds on some of them and VisionApp makes is easy). One PC I remote to (well call it Dillhole) runs VMWare Workstation and I fire that up to turn on some PC's on it. Now, RDP'd to the VMWare Workstation PC, I manage to full screen the VMWare app (no menu at the top) *AND* the VisionApp RDP session, meaning I can't see a damn thing on my work PC other than VMWare. To un-full screen the VMware takes CTRL+ALT+F11 (which seems to only sometimes work in this RDP->RDP->RDP mode), but I have NO CLUE how to un-full screen the DIllhole RDP session. Now, since I am RDP'd we know CTRL+ALT+DEL will just bring up task manager on my home PC. How about CTRL+ALT+END? Nope, that brings up task manager on the RDS server. There's probably a smarter way out, but my solution was to suspend the VM's and log out of Dillhole, log back in to it and restart the VM's... On a technical level it's actually amazing how well RDP works, other than the above fiasco it's weird to RDP to a server to RDP to a PC to RDP to another PC and then launch VM's and use the VM software to easily control this now 3x removed system with the hardware at my home.
