    I usually have to use Remote Desktop to connect to a remote computer and then use Remote Desktop to connect from the remote computer to an even more remote computer. How can I bring up the task manager on the remote-remote computer when its Explorer has crashed?

    Karthik Chandraraj,

    If you just needed to enumerate processes on remote PC, you do not need to establish RDP session.

    Take a look at Remote Process Manager http://admintoyssuite.com/l/remote-task-manager--view-and-kill-processes-and-applications-on-network-desktop-computers/

    I found this way more flexible than to disturb currently logged on user with RDP connection prompt. Remote Process Manager connects on-the-fly and do not show any question boxes to remote users..
