Tim Mackey's Weblog

Hi, I couldn't log back into developersdex.com. Thanks for the timing code. I'm still pretty new to .net, I was told what it was about 4 months ago at my new job. All the threading stuff you had is a bit advanced for me to figure out, but the timer with the mouse up and down events I'm sure I'll figure out how to implement. Thanks!

you have just saved me a 2 hour round trip to be able to force a shutdown on a 2003 server playing silly buggers - thank you

Excellent work. You "learned" me something new. Thanks.

Awesome. I have been meaning to figure this out for ages. So simple when you know how. Ta.

Thanks Tim!

Thanks a lot. That saved me a bunch of time.

And if you have an RDP session inside an RDP session, how do you send a CTRL-ALT-DEL to the inner session?

hi Colin. i came across this myself only yesterday while browsing a web server through my desktop through my PDA. i couldn't figure out how to do it. i guess you could write a VBscript file that would do a SendKeys Ctrl+Alt+Del and run the command on whichever terminal you wanted.

PERFECT! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Great discovery! Good that you shared. I appreaciate.

Another way to perform this function is to turn off the Num Lock. Then use the Delete key that is in the number pad.

Thank you a lot. This information helped me very much.

awesome tip, thanx.. helped when i needed it most!

I have been working as a tech for about 6 years and only just learnt this today from your post. Especially good seeing the machine is in Sydney and I am in Moscow....little bit too far to go. Thanks very much.

Awesome, really!

I tried Ctr-Alt-F12, which is always recommended. But as the remote computer hung - explorer.exe had been closed down - this didn't work out; I think this command is not strong enough to break through the system.

But your solution - Ctr-Alt-End - was the real help: this helped me out!

Thank you very much!

Thanks for that tip! I had a remote session locked up with an application error and couldn't figure out any way to get out of it (or to even get to Task Manager to see whether I was eating up CPU). A life-saver.

Thanks so much! This tip was a massive time saver!

Thanks. This is a big help!

Best regards,

Thanks a lot!!

thanks!

thank you very much! this saved me a lot of trouble today

Thanks!

sorry to spam, but thanks!!!! a big help.

hey guys any one knows how to send Alt + ctrl + del to a remote desktop with a remote desktop.
We have some machines which can be accessed only from certain machines which are also remote.
so its a double remote desktop
I tried Alt + ctrl + end but that goes to the first remote desktop

Awesome, thanks for the tip

Thanks for the nice tip! It was really helpful.

I need to do the same thing Keyur needs to do. I need to send a Ctrl+Alt+Del command to a computer 2 remote desktop connections away. For example,

A -> B -> C

I'm at computer A remoting into computer B which is remoted into computer C. How can I send the Ctrl+Alt+Del command to computer C?

Keyur,

I figured it out. Simply start the Windows On-Screen Keyboard on the first remote desktop computer (computer B from my diagram), and then send a "Ctrl+Alt+End" with it. This will essentially send a "Ctrl+Alt+Del" to the second remote desktop computer (computer C from my diagram).

for a embedded RDC, try ctrl+alt+Shift+Del

Unfortunately, I am not sure how to do a third layer.

Thank you! I have been wondering about this for... years!?

Thanks so much.

in some other applications "Ctrl + Alt + Insert" also work.
