Remote Desktop Services (RDS) enables you to connect and take control of
other Windows based computer's desktop. In contrast to Microsoft App-V, RDS
only transmits application interfaces to the client. In Windows Server 2008
and earlier, it was known as Terminal Services.

Remote Desktop Services has 13 shortcuts and we have listed all of them
below.
