Notes

  • To open Remote Desktop Connection, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click Remote Desktop Connection.

  • For the first five seconds of a remote connection, the connection bar is displayed so you can verify that you are connected to the correct remote computer. This occurs even though you have chosen not to display the connection bar.

  • When you click Connect, the information you have entered in Options becomes the default setting for all Remote Desktop connections and is saved in a file called Default.rdp. To create connections with different or connection-specific options, see Save your connection settings to a file.
