It's remote access or remote desktop offered by windows xp and later. If you have the authorization for remote access you can use it to log into a remote computer and use that computer as if you are sitting in front of it. great for logging into a work computer from home on days you can't get in or are home for some other reason. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thomas Sagar Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:59 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: alt key sticking with remote desktop Just out of curiosity... what kind of remote connectivity are you guys using?

I use full screen mode when using RD and generally can clear the "Stuck" ALT key by toggling back and forth between full screen mode using the CTRL-ALT-Pause key combination.
