The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I hit ctrl-alt-break, for RDT in a window?

Asked by gateguard in Remote Desktop/Terminal Services

Somehow, I accidently had all my RDT sessions in windows instead of full screens.  And all nicely-sized windows at that, with each window showing the full screen of the remote computer, from taskbar all the way to the top of the screen.

I don't know how I got into that situation, but I read somewhere how to get back to full-screen, using ctrl-alt-pause.

Now, I would really like to get back to those nicely sized windows, but ctrl-alt-pause doesn't take me back there!  It takes me from RDT-full-screen to RDT-in-a-window, but the RDT session in the window is NOT correctly sized.

I searched EE and found this:

http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/Remote_Desktop-Terminal_Services/Q_22874050.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+desktop+full+remot+screen+window

which incorrectly suggests ctrl-alt-end (which is actually sending a ctrl-alt-del to the RDT session), but it did provide a link to this:

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000570.html

which says that ctl-alt-pause gets you an unsized RDT window

and ctrl-alt-break gets you a CORRECTLY SIZED RDT window

My problem is, with all my Dell keyboards, the Pause and Break key are the same key, with a line drawn between the Pause and the Break, suggesting that there is somehow a way to toggle this key between pause and break.

I haven't found the way.

I'd love to be able to send a ctrl-alt-break to my RDT sessions and get back to my nicely sized windows which SOMEHOW I stumbled on accidentally a few days ago but now can't return to.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me on this.
