I log in via remote destop to computer A. From computer A, I log in via remote desktop to computer B. Now how do I send all these key strokes, eg Ctrl-Alt-Del to computer B?

Thank you.

Hey, thanks a bunch for posting this. I needed the information because of the PrintScreen functionality in RDP/RDC.

I think that the description above may have one glitch … I needed the “print active window” function and found that it’s Ctrl-Alt-Minus
instead of saying “Active Window” under Ctrl-Alt-Plus above. By the way, I verified that the minus key on the main keyboard area versus the keypad to the right, they both work equivalently. Thanks; Larry.

Thank you. CTRL+ALT+BREAK is what I needed. I remote thru the FW to my main PC and then from there to servers. When the main PC and a server are in full-screen mode the server window is in front of all others and fills the screen and there is no way to get to the main PC. This command solves the problem.
