Remote Desktop Keyboard Shortcuts
I use Remote Desktop fairly often, but not near as often as Virtual PC.  For that reason, I can never seem to remember the keyboard shortcuts for Remote Desktop.
 
Remote Desktop Shortcut Description
CTRL+ALT+END Displays Task Manager (Equivalent to CTRL+ALT+DEL)
ALT+PAGE UP Switch between programs from left to right
ALT+PAGE DOWN Switch between programs from right to left
ALT+INSERT Cycle through the programs in most recently used order
ALT+HOME Display the Start menu. When you are in full screen mode, the Windows button works too.
CTRL+ALT+BREAK Switch the client computer between a window and a full screen. (Hint: The Break button is to the right of the function Keys and is shared by the Pause key)
CTRL + ALT + MINUS (–) Places a snapshot of the active window in the Remote Desktop session on the clipboard. Basically a print screen that gets transferred. (Equivalent to ALT+PRINT SCREEN)
CTRL + ALT + PLUS (+) Places a snapshot of the entire Remote Desktop session window on the clipboard. (Equivalent to PRINT SCREEN)
ALT+HOME Displays the Start menu. Only works when not in Full Screen mode.
