If you press Alt+Tab when Remote Desktop is working in a window and you
don??™t have Remote Desktop selected, then the Alt+Tab combination always affects the local
machine, even when you choose the On the Remote Computer option. Normally, any control key
combinations only go to the remote machine when you use Remote Desktop in full screen mode.
Local Devices Determines which local devices you can access from the remote machine. This
may sound like a very odd consideration, but when you??™re working with the remote machine,
Remote Desktop shuts off access to local resources such as disk drives, printers, and serial ports.
Only your display, keyboard, and mouse are active on the remote machine unless you tell
Remote Desktop to perform the required mapping. Check any of these options to make the
resources on your local machine available when working at the remote machine.
Running a Configuration Program
You may find that you want to run a configuration program on the remote machine when you create
the connection. This program can perform any task and you can use both batch and script files,
in addition to standard applications. Figure 2.
