Run a Macro Using a Keyboard Combination

If you assigned a keyboard combination to a macro when building it,
you can execute the macro by pressing its assigned keystrokes. For
example, press the keys Ctrl+Alt+0 simultaneously to minimize all
windows on a Windows target server.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Macro

Due to its frequent use, a Ctrl+Alt+Delete macro, used to reboot the
target computer, has been preprogrammed into MPC and RRC. Clicking

on the Ctrl+Alt+Delete button

in the toolbar sends this key sequence

to the server or to the KVM switch to which you are currently connected.

In contrast, if you were to physically press the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys while
using MPC or RRC, the command would first be intercepted by your
own PC due to the structure of the Windows operating system, instead
of sending the key sequence to the target server as intended.

Common Hot Key Exceptions for MPC

The following common hot key combinations are not sent to the target
system:
