How to access second monitor from another machine remotely which has a single monitor?
I have 2 monitors at work (Win 7). I sometimes log into my pc remotely from a single-monitor 'demo' XP computer. In that case, the short cut keys (Windows key+ Shift+ Left/Right Arrows keys) are not working in my demo pc.
If I open any window that goes to another monitor I am unable to access it from the demo PC.
How can I resolve this problem?

It's more like a workaround:
In the remote connection window on your demo pc, use Alt+Tab to bring the window to the front, then press Alt+Space, choose "Move" on the popup menu, then use the arrow keys of your keyboard to move the window until you see it.

On windows 10 with remote desktop manager I had to use Alt-Del rather than alt-space to get the move menu to appear

You can either move your application like the above answer mentions
(alt+tab) - to select the application
(alt+space) - to open options
(m) - to start moving
this will not work if the application is already fullscreen. In that case,
use (alt+space) and (R) to restore the application
and then use (alt+space) and (m) combination to start moving
Another way (not sure if this will work on < windows 10) is to use
win+shift+ctrl+(left/right) after selecting the application

I use Citrix for the RDC. I was able to see the icon in the taskbar, but not the aplication, even using alt + tab.
To solve the problem, I had to click on the icon in the taskbar, Alt+Space, and select 'Move'.
