Thanks for all the answers. Ctrl+alt+break is what I needed.
What do you mean by browsing using c$. If I use
\\computername\d\foldername in the run dialogue on the remote PC,
would I be able to transfer files and folders across computers?
By the way the controlling system is win7, and remote is XP so this is
what prevents me from copying freely.

Hi,
I think the issue may be XP on the remote computer doesn't support
the new RDP protocols found in Vista and later. That being said, I
am able to do the copy and paste thing in both directions between Win
2003 R2 SP2 machines and my Win7 pro machine at work.
I tend not to use the drive mapping thing in RDP as I prefer to
browse to the remote file share (c$, d$), even if it means opening up
another hole in the firewall. I don't like the idea of a remote
machine having full access to an internal systems drive.
Andrew.

Thank you! It works perfectly. But I still can't copy and paste.
I use windows7 starter on the local system and xp sp3 on the remote
computer. I still haven't find a way to make xp remember that I want
to mount some drives automaticly.
Also I have some keys sticking down. and causing trouble.

Hi,
I do this by pressing ctrl+alt+pause (also called the break key but
that probably shows my age :))
When you do this, you will be in the remote desktop still, but the
screen won't be maximised, so you can alt+tab and you will be on the
local machine again, and can copy and paste stuff to and from this.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Hello,
I'm using Remote desktop connection. What I need is to copy files
between the local and the remote computer. I want to easily switch
between the RDP and the local desktop using the keyboard.
Does anybody here knows the secret?
