Accessing Local Resources
Remote Desktop makes it possible to map your local hardware to respond to events on the remote
machine. Figure 2.11 shows the settings you can use to map resources as needed. The following list

Remote Computer Sound Lets you bring sounds from the remote machine to your local
machine. This setting has three options. You can choose to play the remote sound locally, not
play the remote sound at all (effectively muting the remote system), or play the sound at the
remote location.
Keyboard Controls the use of control key combinations. For example, when you press Alt+Tab,
this setting controls whether you switch between applications on the local machine or the remote
machine. This setting only affects Remote Desktop when you have it selected when working in
windowed mode.
