Terminal server client / delete key irritation

I've noticed when using a terminal server client session that sometimes the "Delete" key stops working correctly -- pressing it sends a "CTRL-ALT-DEL" to the server, bringing up the "Lock Workstation / Logout / Change Password" dialog box.

You forget how much you use that key when coding until you can't use it, and having it not work and being forced to use the backspace key can be a real drag.

The solution: Press "CTRL-ALT-END". The DEL key will start working again.
