Windows 7 Remote Desktop Reset To Full Screen

I often have Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) open to another computer and minimize it in the background. Since playing Starcraft II where the screen resolution changes, the RDP session reverts down to a lower resolution and is then enclosed in a window with scroll bars. It loses the original fullscreen appearance. There are several ways to resolve this.

1. A tedious but logical solution would be to close the RDP session, open the RDP application, click on Options, click on the Display tab and drag the Display Configuration back to Fullscreen. Then Connect.

2. The more elegant nonexistent Windows manual solution: While in the RDP session that has been downgraded from fullscreen, type Ctrl+Alt+Break.

3. What if your computer is a laptop without the Break key? Try Ctrl+Alt+Fn+End or Ctrl+Alt+Fn+Pause, where Fn=Function key.
