Ctrl + Alt + delete on local session will give you the option to open the task manager, but what about if you are remoting into another server.
Ctrl + Shift + Esc did the trick for me

Ctrl + Shift + Esc works for me also , remote desktop to windows server 2003
It’s working fine for me..thanks a lot..
ctrl+shift+esc works fine for my machine
ctrl+alt+end also works fine for my machine
Me too, thank you so much. You saved my day
If you want to bring up the shut-down dialog on the remote machine you can always use the old go-to command Alt+F4
Thanks a lot! Ctrl + Shift + Esc worked for me too!!
I am using Ctrl + Alt + End on a remote desktop and that is the same as Ctrl + Alt + delete on a local desktop.
Ctrl Alt End worked for me after hours of frustration before I found this useful tip. Thank You!
Hooray, Ctrl + Alt + End worked after two days of annoyance with stuck windows in the background. Thanks!

Ctrl + Alt + End worked for me ..i was connecting from win7 to windows server 2005
Ctrl + Alt + End on a remote desktop
Thanks Peter,
Ctrl + Alt + End !
on xp ctrl-alt-end works
thx a lot

ctrl+alt+end worked thanks man!
Pressing any sequence of keys that includes ESC breaks my connection. CTRL+ALT+END doesn’t work for me either.
On XP remote machine, I used to go to Start-setting-windows security to get the task manager. But yesterday windows explorer had a metldown and I lost my START button.
cntl+alt+esc worked and is MUCH easier. Thanks!
doh! I mean, cntl+shift+esc worked for me.
Thank you ever so much. I had been trying for a while to figure this our in RDC and your information was on the spot correct. Thanks for taking the time to post.
Most appreciated.
Cheers,

ctrl-alt-end worked for win7 to server 2k3 for me
You can also just go Start -> Run -> taskmgr.exe
this is the only one that worked for me! Thanks very much!
THank you, this is the only one that worked for me too!
thanks it is also the only one that worked for me
This is the only one that worked for me. Thanks for the tip!
taskmgr.exe It worked for me thank you Dude…
Brilliant. If you have to go via a citrix connection doing ctr-sft-end just open up the task manager that is running the remote desktop.
Typing taskmgr.exe in a cmd prompt window (no run box in Server 2003) it works.
ctrl+shift+esc worked for me, but not unless I have the remote desktop window fully maximized.
Ctrl + Alt + End worked for me also on Windows 2008 Server
ctrl+shift+esc worked for me too when my system in RDP session got hung.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc works for windows 7 & Ctrl+Shift+End works for XP…..anyone should try this combination…it definately works….else you have one simple option which is – Start -> Run -> taskmgr.exe
thanks a lot i was struggling …….and ctrl+shift+Esc worked for me…
– ctrl+alt+end worked like charm running winxpprosp3 in a rdt window from win7premium ( as did taskmgr.exe from run ) .Thx very much !
Here’s one for ya. On your local PC (PC1 – Windows Server 2008 in my case), open a remote desktop on a computer on your network. Maximize the RDP session on the local PC screen. Then go to another computer (PC2) and VNC in to PC1. You will see the RDP session maximized. Now from PC2 try to bring up the desktop of PC1.
This is not easy..
The only way I found was to send ctrl-alt-del using the VNC menu option. Then the PC1 task manager pops up, go to the Task Manager and then if youre lucky the task bar at the bottom shows up and you can right click it and “Show Desktop”. Now from VNC try to restore the RDP screen from maximized.
I found that sometimes I could dbl click the very top of the VNC screen and this would restore the RDP screen. But that does not always work.
Very nice THX:X::X:X:X:
Thanks , it worked fine for me.
thanks it works…however what if the admin has restricted the access to takmgr
Ctrl-Alt-End works for me thanks
ctrl+Shift+Esc works for me. Thanks a million times.
