Alt+PrintScreen in Remote Desktop

In normal use, Alt+PrintScreen captures just the active window (as
opposed to PrintScreen, which captures the full screen).

I use Remote Desktop a lot, and I use it in "windowed" mode (as opposed
to full screen), in order to be able to alt+tab between Remote Desktop
and other windows. The problem is, when Remote Desktop is windowed,
Alt+PrintScreen captures the whole Remote Desktop screen and not just
the active window. This makes sense, since from Windows' point of view,
the whole Remote Desktop screen *is* the active window.

The question is, how do I capture just the active window within the
Remote Desktop?

TIA,

Dan
