Ctrl-alt-end on mac keyboard

Our system at work uses WIndows XP and I can now use Remote Office to get on the system from home. Previously, I had to run Parallels Desktop for windows. Now, I can run it from Safari, except to begin the login process, I must hit the combination of keys "Ctrl-Alt-END" I have looked at discussions and they say end is accessed using the command key and the left or right arrow. No luck with that.
Do I hit the control key, alt key, command key and right arrow at once? I tried that and it didn't work. Parallels for Windows has a virtual Windows keyboard, but there doesn't seem to be the same WIndows keyboard on Mac OS. Help!!

the options key on the mac keyboard should map to the windows alt key, so the key command should be control-options-end.
You should be able to enable "Remote Access" on the windows XP machine (get properties on My Computer and enable it in the "Remote" tab). Then download Microsoft's "Remote Desktop Connection" software and connect to your work PC by entering it's IP address.

Hyper-V, RDC, UAC and Ctrl Alt End

Greetings,
Got a new computer running Win8.1 Pro. Still adjusting to Win8.1, but thought I'd give Hyper-V a spin so I can "replace" another system that I need to use for remote access to a client system. Be nice to just have one computer to do all my work.
I've been using two systems to get my work done due to VPN conflicts - my primary work system connects me to work using one vendor's VPN, the remote client system uses a different VPN, and when I've worked on getting the VPNs to place nice together I have
had little success.
So I've been using two different, older and lower powered computers to get this done, but now I was thinking I could use Hyper-V to create a VM for accessing my remote client using their VPN without losing my work VPN connection.
I've got the VM setup and configured, running Win7 Pro (because that's the other license I've got), and the VPN installed on it. I can connect to my work VPN, spin up the VM and connect to the client with their VPN, and RDC to the servers I need to work
on when I need to work on them. Works great, right up to the point where the client UAC requires Admin elevation for the MMC (or other management type program). Up pops the box that says Press Ctrl-Alt-End to use my entered credentials, which have admin rights,
to pass the creds on to the program.
I can't figure out how to get Ctrl-Alt-End to the RDC dialog!
I'm opening Hyper-V manager, then connecting to the VM on my computer. From the Virtual Machine Connection window, log into the client VPN, fire up RDC and connect to the server (logging in to their domain, etc.). I try to load the program on the client
server in RDC, the UAC pops up, and - nothing. Hitting Ctrl-Alt-End on my keyboard brings up the lock screen on the Hyper-V connection, it doesn't pass it through to the active RDC session. I've loaded the onscreen keyboard on the remote server, clicked Ctrl
Alt End, but that doesn't seem to pass into the UAC.
I've thought - maybe I should configure my VM for remote access, then I can RDC to the VM, then RDC to the client's server, then... but... would that work?
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Steven

Greetings, Thanks for the reply. I'm not trying to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to clear anything, I'm not trying to use Ctrl-Alt-Del at all. Here's what I'm attempting:
Fire up a VM, log into the VM, run the customer's VPN
RDC to the customer's server
Run the management app on the customer's server that needs elevated privileges
In the RDC session to the customer's server:
I get a UAC dialog, asking if "I want to complete this action by entering my credentials on the authentic Windows logon screen" or "I don't want to complete this action"
I click the first option ("I want to complete...")
I get a second UAC dialog saying "Press Control+Alt+End" to enter your credentials"
I'm not able to press Control+Alt+End and have it go to the server in the RDC session, the VM is capturing it first; I HAVE tried it using the onscreen keyboard in the RDC session also without success
(I took screen caps of the dialogs, but, I've pulled an all-nighter working on another issue and couldn't seem to figure out how to insert them here... doh!)
So - no Ctrl-Alt-Del
Next time I need to get to the client's server I'll have to check the settings for keyboard shortcut forwarding. Thanks for the suggestion.

RDP and JAVA (SLOW ON TYPING AND SCREEN BUILD)-CTRL-ALT-END-ESC speeds up

Any news what's the problem in a 2003 environment?
Only after using the CTRL-ALT-END-ESC combination things are speeding up.
We've got following installed on the server:
JNLP Runtime Setiings
1.3.1_19
1.5.0_06
Both enabled and 1.5.0_06 is enabled as system.
Tried different combination and this seems to be the fastest, but still not good enough,if you launch it locally on theserver, it goes very fast,so it has someting to do with RDP,
Any help?
Greetings,
Dre

What's the problem with what? 'It' being what? and RDP having what to do with it?
Just curious ... call me old-fashioned.

Ctrl+Alt+End in Remote Desktop Running Windows XP with VMWare Fusion

I am using remote desktop on Windows XP in a VMWare virtual machine on my MacBook Pro. When the remote computer I'm connecting to times out and locks the screen, I need to send ctrlaltend to get back to the login dialog to unlock the screen (ctrlaltdel gets processed by the local windows box and never passed through so ctrlaltend is the appropriate sequence in remote desktop). Only one problem ... my MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't have an End key (or any other key that maps to it as far as I can tell) ... neither does the bluetooth wireless keyboard I use. So how do I send ctrlaltend? Anybody else run into this and find a satisfactory solution short of disconnecting remote desktop and logging in all over again?

That's weird.. I use RDC on my Vista's VM all the time and Ive never encountered this issue.
Try running the RDC in full screen, so that the Ctrl-Alt-Del will go to the RDC.
You can close the RDC window, and change the Options "Send Windows Combination Key" either to the RDC or the VM, or while the RDC in full screen.

Change ctrl+alt+s System Information keyboard shortcut

Hello,
since last HP update, there is this new keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+S that opens the System Information panel. That shortcut is also used by other applications i.e. Adobe Photoshop. How can i change/disable that shortcut?
My OS is windows 8.1.
I've already unsuccessfully tried the steps described in the document http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=it&lc=it&dlc=it&docname=c00761879. It does not work for me because I have windows 8.1 and there is no such program as "HP Help and Tools".
Thanks

Use Windows System Restore to return to a checkpoint made on the date of the update. Each checkpoint will list details on the update that it was made for.
Use system restore, not Refresh or reset.

Created 1 hr email this am. Hit send...frozen for an hour. Where,s Ctrl /alt/delete in Mac??

Need help, their tech support not open yet.....

Also, If you can do it, go to the apple symbol at the top menu, go to force quit, and quit whatever you need. Sometimes a frozen screen has a cursor that will respond to the top menu.
Another option, which I have to rarely use, is to use press in and hold the power button until the computer shuts down.
I have found restart almost always corrects problems, though I have had weird emails just corrupt everything until I found where it was and was able to delete it totally.

Hi,
You can use Ctrl+ALT+End to open the menu for the remote computer.

MS-RDP to vDesktop - ctrl-alt-delete

This is cute, right ctrl-alt-delete doesn't work, insert-alt-delete (like vmware) doesnt work...the local (laptop or desktop) always responds.
How do you get the ctrl-alt-delete to be sent to a MS-RDP window to login to an virtual XP machine.
Does this normally work? What am I missing?
sorry for the dumb question.
ron

OK, now what...
ctrl-alt-end works when you are sitting on a hardware computer, using MS-RDP to get to a VM. cltrl-alt-end gets the attention of the VM in MS-RDP.
So, then, once I login to the VM, I want to MS-RDP to another computer...how do I get the attention of that computer...
ctrl-alt-delete - first machine
ctrl-alt-end - second machine from the first machine
???-???-??? - third machine from the second machine

[SOLVED] Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not work from KDM login screen

I have some weird problems with switching to the virtual console from the graphical GUI.
rc.conf: KEYMAP=hu
Unless I define hungarian keyboard in KDE4 also, I cannot switch to vc/1 with Ctrl-Alt-F1. When the keyboard is defined in KDE4, i can switch.
But in the KDM login screen, I am unable to switch and there is no option to set the keyboard.
Any ideas please?

Option "XkbLayout" "en"
Hey, you got the point, this was the solution! Setting the option to "hu" solved my problem! Thank you!

How do you Control Alt Delete on mac Book Pro keyboard when using VM Ware?

This must be the stupidest question I'll ever have to ask...but....normally in the office I have a separate mac keyboard/screen/mouse and log into Windows via VM Ware. I am using the latest Mac Book Pro model. I have to click on the window and press Control Alt Delete before I log in. This works fine until the day I was out of the office and had to press Control Alt Delete via the Mac Book Pro's own keyboard and nothing happened. I passed the laptop over to 2-3 other mac friendly people and we all were left scratching our heads.
Can anyone shed some light on this??
Kris

Google is your friend!*
Turned up another Apple Discussions post that said to press  + U at the ctrl-alt-del prompt to bring up the 'visually challenged' tools, and to turn on the on-screen keyboard. This should allow you to log in, then once you are in, remap the keys to something more convenient, maybe assigning the right-hand-side command key to DEL. Unfortunately, I haven't used a Windows PC in ages, so I can't tell you how to do this.
On a related note, I've just discovered that I don't have an  key on my MBP. You learn something new every day!

Touchsmart 9100 use onscreen keyboard ctrl+alt+del to login

I have a Touchsmart 9100 and I can't figure out how to ctrl+alt+del to login to my network using the onscreen keyboard. I have it wallhung and will not be using the keyboard or mouse.

After navigating (sometimes downloading pictures, sometimes not) for approximately 10 minutes, I can no longer see contents of drop down menues, then Firefox freezes up and I have to use Ctrl/Alt/Delete to end my internet experience.

Ctrl-Alt-Prt Screen for Mac?

I'm a new Mac user. One of my favorite PC commands was Ctrl-Alt-Print Screen, which let me take a picture of my computer screen, a handy tip when I'm making powerpoints. But I can't figure out how to do it on my new mac. Any thoughts?

Hi SC in ATL: I don't use Powerpoint or any similar program so I can't comment with any certainty, but I can only assume it would be a process similar to posting any other type of photo/picture. If you leave the topic unanswered for awhile there are lots of knowlegable folks on here that may be able to answer with more certainty than I could.

CS5.5: keyboard shortcuts: CTRL+ALT and problem with ALT+CTRL

The problem concerns the CS5.5 version of InDesign on Win7. Incorrect work-based keyboard shortcuts: CTRL+ALT+?? (system shortcuts and self defined, eg paragraph style). We have to remember to press the keys in order: CTRL+ALT+??. Ordering: ALT+CTRL+?? (vice versa to CTRL+ALT) will freeze the program on the selection on drop down menu (File, Edit etc.) and inability to perform any other function with the keyboard. This is a bug, or might be changed?
If we use shortcuts eg: SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+??, we must remember to first release the ALT key and then the rest. Otherwise, InDesign hang in drop down menu...

Welcome to the forum!
It sounds like you've inadvertently turned on the Sticky Keys accessibility feature. Since you didn't mention which operating system you're using, I can't tell you how to turn it off. Trying searching for Sticky Keys in Help in the Start button menu.
Hope this helps!
