I'm using the remote desktop feature from the Windows Live Essentials to connect to my computer at home and noticed some differences. When I do some while at work shortcut like Alt+tab would change the tab in the open remote session.

While doing so from somewhere else would change the tabs of the host system. What would I have to configure to turn the forwarding of system keys to the remote system on?

Alt-Tab works completely on remote box when Remote Desktop Connection is opened in full screen mode.


You can use also the following special Remote Desktop key combinations:

Alt + Page Up

Switches between programs from left to right.

Alt + Page Down

Switches between programs from right to left.

Alt + Insert

Cycles through the programs in the order they were started.

Alt + Home

Displays the Start menu.

Ctrl + Alt + Break

Switches the client between a window and full screen.

Ctrl + Alt + End

Opens the Microsoft Windows NT Security dialog box

Ctrl + Alt + Pause

Toggles between fullscreen and windowed mode (note that this does not set the client desktop to the correct size)

Alt + Del

Displays the Windows menu

Ctrl + Alt + Num -

Places a snapshot of the client's active window on the clipboard

Ctrl + Alt + Num +

Places a snapshot of the client's entire desktop area on the clipboard
