I have an application where Ctrl + Alt + End is mapped to a command, but when using the machine via Remote Desktop, Ctrl + Alt + End is used by the system as an alternative to Ctrl + Alt + Delete. Is there any way to change that setting for the Remote Desktop session so I can use Ctrl + Alt + End in my application?

Do you have the option of running AutoHotkey on the remote PC? You could run a script there which would trap an alternate hotkey of your choosing, and render it (there) as Ctrl+Alt+End.

Alternate method which opens the 'Ctrl-Alt-Delete' overlay manually:
Run > shell:::{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}
or
cmd > explorer.exe shell:::{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}

If it does not work, try pressing Ctrl, and Alt on physical keyboard, hold and then click "End" on On-Screen keyboard. – Ivan Chau – 2019-06-18T02:23:20.467

If you have permission to install on the remote machine, you could use a scripting engine like AutoHotkey or AutoIt to make a small script to catch whatever shortcut you would like and virtually "press" Ctrl+Alt+Del on the remote machine for you.

1No need for install permissions; AHK works as a user-mode executable, so as long as application execution isn't restricted it should be fine. – Bob – 2013-03-18T12:34:48.907

When you're connecting, on the Local Resources tab of your Remote Desktop Client choose "On the Local Computer" in the drop-down menu of the Keyboard frame. This will send those keyboard signals directly to the remote machine instead of via the client.

3disabling the Windows key combinations actually didn't seem to apply to Ctrl+Alt+End. Good suggestion though – Jimmy – 2010-01-07T21:11:31.917
thanks, worked like a charm once I figured the script out :) – Jimmy – 2010-01-07T21:10:33.820
