When I press Ctrl-Alt-Delete I can only open the Task Manager for the local PC.

Is there some simple way to open the Task Manager on the remote PC while running Remote Desktop from one Windows XP machine to another?

Ctrl + Shift + Escape works too, I think Ctrl + Alt + Delete gives you back control over your own computer doesn't it? – Ivo Flipse♦ Jul 21 '09 at 7:28

Opps, Ctrl+Alt+End brings up the 'Window Security' dialog, added 't' for the Task Manager button. – pelms Aug 6 '09 at 15:17

You can set the Windows key combinations to go to the remote computer and use Ctrl-Shift-Esc to launch the Task Manager.

In the remote desktop connection options for Local Resources you have the option of where to apply Windows key combinations (On the local computer, On the remote computer, or only in full screen mode).

Ctrl+Shift+Esc works for me like that by default... – KovBal Jul 28 '09 at 12:19
Ctrl+Shift+Esc will work in full screen but if running in a window it will open the client PC's task manager – pelms Aug 6 '09 at 15:21
