Change Windows Password in a remote desktop session

Remote DesktopI am was connected to my work PC today via RDP and I needed to change my password as it expired today.  I know you can't use Ctrl-Alt-Delete to get the prompt.

Luckily there is a simply way you can still do this, once in the session press

Ctrl-Alt-End

This will then give you the option to change your password.  Now if you have a small netbook like myself, then you may have to press the Fn key as well to get End to be End and not something like Page Down.

I am always interested in feedback so please feel free to add any comments, or you can mail me  here.  If you would like to submit a quick tip  with full credit and links back to your site then also feel free to contact me.
