Switch to full screen on Remote Desktop

Ever so often, the default rdp gets set with a certain size which effectively takes away the full screen mode for the session. My earlier approach was to disconnect from the RDP session, and use the options tab to select full screen or the /f mode in mstsc to reconnect in full screen mode again.

I just found that you dont need to disconnect and reconnect. You can switch back to full screen mode in your existing RDP session with the simple (ok, its 3 keys) keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-Alt-Break.

Back to blogging times after a few months. I feel I shouldnt keep waiting to write that nice big blog post, and should document all these points, however tiny they seem now.
