Thanks that was what i was looking for! But the Alt+F1 doesn't minimize the fullscreen rdp window. I tried configuring it to other keys but it doesn't help (i even can't get it back to Alt+F1). My configuration: Client: Windows XP Professional (Running RDC 7.0: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969084) Server: Windows XP Home Great job! The media key part works like a charm!

I've just tried it on Windows 7 Pro to windows XP x64, and was unsuccessful at getting it to work. If you have any suggestions on how to improve it, that would be appreciated. Thanks! Hey Soren,

If you have any suggestions on how to improve it, that would be appreciated.

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.
