Moving Remote Desktop Between Monitors
I have started using Windows 7 at work a while ago and I use three monitors. There is a new shortcut key in Windows 7 to move a window between monitors: WIN-SHIFT-LEFT ARROW (or RIGHT ARROW). This works great, except that I normally run remote desktop sessions full screen on one of the monitors and that doesn’t work when Remote Desktop is full screen. However, there are shortcut keys for Remote Desktop and one of them is CTRL+ALT+BREAK to switch the client computer between a window and full screen. So I can switch it from full screen to window, use the new shortcut key to move the window to another screen, and then back to full screen. It going to take a while to get the muscle memory down.
BTW, the original dilbert strip only had two monitors. That is so…two years ago.

Very helpful tips. But I use Proxy Networks’ remote desktop software… is it possible for me to use the screen shifting feature if I’m using proxy?

Sorry, I don’t have any experience with their product. I would ask their support.
