Hello.

Running term server client on XP machine at 800 x 600
resoltion display.

The term server window takes up about half my screen,
which is small for entering data.

Can I adjust the window size (preferably full screen)?

THanks in advcance.

Open up your remote desktop client (mstsc.exe) and you
should be able to set the size of the remote desktop.

How ? Can only change resolution (to 640x480 for
example.) Would like to change actual window size and
leave resolution alone.
 
Never mind. The latest remote desktop client has the
settings. (Old term server client didn't).
Thanks.

Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client (RDC) does give you the option of
specifying various fixed resolutions for the resulting window in which
the desktop served by Terminal Server will be shown.

Sometimes, though, you want to adjust the size of the resulting window
to an arbitrary size so that it neatly encloses the application that
you want RDC to run as soon as you connect (configured in the Programs
tab of advanced Options). RDC does not give you the option of doing
arbitrary sizing.

You can, nevertheless, tell RDC to adjust the size by saving all of
your configuration from the General tab using Save As. Then use
Notepad to open the file you just saved which has an .RDP extensioin,
and the edit the following values to the size you want:

desktopwidth:i:640
desktopheight:i:480

You will see some other parameters. What they are and what the values
mean is not always self explanatory.
