If your anything like me – the amount of environments that you are now accessing via a variety of nested citrix/RDP/VPN/Hyper-V Console/JumpBox’s  etc – well…. its now 100% of what you deal with.

One of the pains of nested sessions (apart from the clipboard) is pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del for tasks such as changing your password.

A common method around this is to use the on-screen keyboard

• launch “osk.exe” from a command line
• press Ctrl + alt – and then use your mouse to press “del”

However, i’ve always found that little painful – and a few years ago i found a direct command line, then lost it again – and have now found it again! So i am now recording it here – for future me – and anyone else
