The mapping of keys should probably be the same.

I was referring to the start button or orb at the bottom left of the remote Windows screen, not a physical button. The same place you would go to launch Task Manager or the On-Screen Keyboard.

What is that you want to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to achieve? There is probably a workaround.

I use a Mac mini and a PC with Remote Desktop all the time but I'm not where it is right now.

Yes, I know about the start button on the screen. However, I am remoting into a Windows Server which requires the CTRL-ALT-DEL before ANY function or process can begin. No start button is present on the screen. When I am physically at the Server it’s a no brainer. Hit the three keys and then I can login as an administrator or user. Very frustrating from my home-based Mac and Apple wireless keyboard ;-(

Just wanted to say thanks for all your time. I do believe once I am sitting in front of the Server I can disable the requirement to press those three pesky keys. I have been all over the internet and this is one of the suggestions. I'll give it a try in the next couple of days. No one, I mean no one, can say how to do the PC-version of CTRL-ALT-DEL on the Mac with the Apple wireless keyboard, remotely. So again, I thank you for trying.
