This is a handy tip to go with these others:

You know about ctrl-alt-break, too? Switches a remote desktop from full screen to windowed mode.

This really is a neat trick. It's just unfortunate that it only works with Server 2003, and the majority of server boxes I maintain are Server 2000.

To me, this is the main reason to upgrade to Server 2003 licensing - something I'm on very short supply of.

What do you have to say?
