I originally developed this on a Vista box and tested with Vista to Vista and XP to Vista, as far as I remember. I did recently notice similar behavior when I upgraded to Windows 7 and I'll look into the issue as soon as I get some free time. Thanks for the heads-up! Hi Gareth,

Having just got myself a media keyboard I found the same issue with my own music and was very interested on trying this but it does not work. I have x86 Vista in the office (will be upgraded to x64 Windows 7 later in the year) and have x64 Windows 7 at home. Any idea how to pass through the media keys back to the client using this setup?

However, that still doesn't solve the volume problem that the add-on above addresses as well. I'll have our privacy policy added shortly. Hopefully, that'll make you feel a little more at ease. I'm glad some people actually read those... Doug,

And where is you privacy policy if you are going to ask for email addresses? So 1990s.... CTRL-ALT-BREAK has always worked to toggle the RDP client window.
