Remote desktop use windows button by default and locks itself and minimizes windows. How to issue Ctrl-Alt-Del in remote desktop.

I know its irrelevant to Peoplesoft. But providing this detail just to save your time of engaging Wintel teams and service desk.  :-)  I had to surf and with no results found I called service desk but no luck.

Issue:
========
When you connect to remote desktop sometimes it locks itself when you type key 'l' or 'L'  and minimize all windows when you type 'm or 'M' .

Reason: Somehow the remote desktop issues the windows key combinations and thats causeing the issue.


Solution:

Issue Ctrl-Alt-Del and cancel. but in remote desktop you cannot issue as it will apply the key combination to your desktop instead remote desktop.

In order to send Ctrl-Alt-Del keystrokes to remote computer connected via Remote Desktop client,


Ctrl+Alt+End

Rest Next :-)
