SYMPTOMS
On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 (SP4), during a Microsoft NetMeeting remote session, you can regain control of the remote computer by pressing any key on your keyboard. In Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 (SP3), you can regain control only by using the ESC key.



CAUSE
This behavior is designed to make it easier to regain control in case someone at the remote site tries to take control from the remote user.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
This change in Windows 2000 SP4 is a security-related fix that affects the NetMeeting remote session host computer and prevents a person just passing by from accessing and retaining control of a remote desktop that is under the control of NetMeeting.
