I know this isn't strictly a programming question but y'all must have experienced this. So...you have four or five RDP sessions open over the corp VPN, you're bashing away inside your favourite IDE, your VPN to the data centre bounces briefly then recovers, all your RDP sessions start re-establishing their connections and whilst doing ...
It appears there is a bug in RDP that freezes the session if it is minimized and another user shadows it. Latest version 6.1 seems to fix it if you use XP, but no fix for Windows 2003 or older OS versions. Any patches, workarounds or suggestions would be appreciated. ...
I'm trying to find a way to invoke the Ctrl+Alt+Delete dialog on a Windows 2000 computer that I'm connected to via Remote Desktop. Windows XP and 2003 include a new start menu command called "Windows Security" that does this, but Windows 2000 has no such option. It appears that Ctrl+Alt+End will do this, but it only goes to the outermos...
Does anyone else find that when they open a saved connection in Remote Desktop it sometimes sets up the login as Username@IpAddress and other times (seemingly at random) sets it up as IpAddress@Username? Does anyone know what the logic is behind the two / why this happens? ...
At work, I running Vista Business on a lavishly new PC, which runs great excepting two issues. In order of annoyance, but not importance: When I reboot the machine, the Windows Splash is presented asking me to Press Ctrl + ALT + DELETE so I can logon. It takes three to five minutes and seceral key presses for me to be prompted to sel...
I have a .net winforms app which has a few animation effects, fade ins and scroll animations etc. These work fine however if I'm in a Remote Desktop Protocol session the animations start to grate. Can someone suggest a way of determining whether or not an app is running across an RDP session so I can turn the effects off in this case? ...

I want to be able to access some device specific data while running an application on a remote machine. The problem is that if the RDP window is minimized this data is not available. One solution I'm examining is writing my own RDP client so that the server machine always thinks that it has an active display (even when the client machine...
Has anybody any successful remarks about having a team working via Remote Desktop? In many workplaces, we put end users via Citrix and the applications on a central, powerful server. Sometimes the clients are in the same building as the server, but often, they are remote. There could be some huge benefits for me to put my developers on...
I'm writing a help desk application and would like to allow my users to initiate a Remote Assistance session on a remote PC. This can be done via Help in Windows XP, but I haven't been able to find any code sample in .NET. Thanks! ...
We regularly access the build machine through RDP and it there are lots of command line windows that open. Sometimes these windows hang like someone switched focus to them and press the Pause key. Tapping the keyboard moves the process along, but every once in a while this is missed and everyone waits on the process to finish while it ...
This may seem to be a IT question, but most IT people I asked couldn't help me. Where I work we have a Windows 2003 server where several developers connect via RDP. We downgraded the privileges of some of them (they were admin). And now when they start Visual Basic 6.0, they get the Windows Installer "Preparing to install" dialog. It dis...
I typically have several remote desktop sessions going at the same time. Within these sessions I might be running different applications. VMWare Workstation has a Unity mode that allows you to integrate guest applications with the host. I'd like to be able to do the same thing for remote desktop sessions. It would be a real productiv...
I'm trying to use the mstscax.dll (Microsoft Remote Desktop Control) to login to a Vista machine that requires Network Level Authentication. I've played around with all the methods in IMsRdpClientNonScriptable4, IMsRdpClientAdvancedSettings4 and IMsRdpClient6. There are a slew of functions that appear that the might enable this. Enabl...
Supposing I was developing a fairly graphically intensive application (C++ or C#, graphics API undecided) for which most of the usage will be by remote users over RDP (either terminal server sessions or remote access to a single-user machine). It's obvious that non-essential "eye-candy" effects and animations should be avoided. My ques...
Is there a remote desktop plugin for mozilla browsers that can perform remote desktop functionality from with the browser. Similar to the ActiveX control found in Terminal Services Web. IE similar to this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=E2FF8FB5-97FF-47BC-BACC-92283B52B310 ...
Are there any libraries for connecting as a client via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) in Linux? The language used is secondary to the issue of existence. Any mainstream language would do (e.g. C++, Perl, Java, Ruby, PHP, Python), and even less popular ones like OCaml or Scheme. Is there any option available other than taking the rdeskt...

Hello, I have an application which injects keystrokes into applications via Sendkeys, unfortunatly the application will not work when I am running Remote Desktop, because of the well known issue that Sendkeys doesn't work with Remote Desktop. Has anyone solved this issue before, or have any good suggestions on how to resolve it? Thank...
