I have a program on my work computer that freezes on me every once in a
while. Is there any way to access Windows Task Manager from a remote
connection to end the program?

Click to expand...

If your in a Remote Desktop session use the <Ctrl><Alt><End> key combo to
bring up the task manager.

It's funny b/c I don't know the technical word for the bar on the bottom of
the screen that displays the start button, the task bar, open windows, etc.
But all you have to do is right click on an open spot on that bar and the
option for task manager will be right there. For example on my computer I
can right click on the clock in the far right corner and the task manager
will be there as an option.

Sorry I don't know the technical names, but this will work!
