RDP in Windows Vista
I'm using IE9 to connect to a remote computer via SBS. The remote computer is running Windows Vista Business SP2. I connect to this computer via two local computers, one running Windows 7 SP1 (IE version 9.0.8080.16413), and the other running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (IE version 90.8112.16421). When I connect via the Win7 machine, alt-tab shortcut works on the remote computer, as I'd like. When I connect with the Vista machine, alt-tab controls the local computer instead. I can't find any settings on the local machines that controls this; am I missing something, or is this a Vista bug? Thank you, Joe

My "apply windows key combinations" was already set to "on the remote computer", and this does work if I use mstsc.exe directly for connecting to a remote computer. However, it doesn't seem to if I have to connect to a remote computer via IE9. Since I can't connect to this remote computer via mstsc.exe directly, I can't test for this specific machine, but I have had success in the past with other machines using this Vista local computer.Joe
