Here's something that I've run into many times. You need to Remote Desktop to a machine so then you can Remote Desktop to another machine because it's safer to keep some machines this way. Only problem with this is that you end up with the Remote Desktop Bar (where you can Minimize, Restore or Close the session) right in the middle where you can't get to the second Remote Session you started. 

Remote Desktop in Windows 7 now allows you to move the bar out of the way, this is great feature if you want to minimize the second Remote Desktop session so you can work on the first session you were working on. To do this simply click on the bar with your mouse and drag it to your left so you can see the other Remote Desktop bar.

And that my friends is how you do it!


Here's some Examples:

I've often had to run a command prompt and run ping with the -t parameter to check out if you are droping packets or if your connection is getting lost.

Most of us know to run something like this: ping google.com -t this will give you a continous pinging to google.com. Now what if I want to check how many drop packets I've had? Usually I would stop the ping (control-c) and you'll get your stats but you'll have to run the command again.

The trick here is to do control-break and you'll see the stats thus far without interrupting your ping. Check the screenshot of how it looks. 

Hope this helps!
