I Successfully created and started a remote desktop session from Vista
Ultimate to a XPsp2. It was working fine for a few days and then suddenly,
within the RD session, I lost the ability to:
1. use any function where a Shift key is involved
2. drag and drop any icon
3. use any function where a Ctrl key is involved

Everything else is unchanged. Functionality with Vista has not changed and
when I log on to the XPsp2 machine, with the same login used in the RD
session, there is also n problem.

How do I restore the Shift/Ctrl/drag'n'drop functions in Remote Desktop
Session?

Found a workaround on http://www.tutorials-win.com/Vista/SHIFT-workingVista/

- Run the RD session as administrator

....Another issue to be fixed in the next bug fix
