Hi

I am having a problem with cutting and pasting not working on my
remote desktop. I am not cutting and pastintg betweeen my remoted
computer and my local computer. I am only cutting and pasting within
my remote computer. For example, I can't cut and paste test text in a
word document that is running on my remote computer. I can't even cut
and paste files between directories in my remote computer.

I am hoping someone can point me the to right direction.

Thanks

Simple test - open notepad, type in some text, select it, use edit | copy
and edit | paste. Then edit | cut, edit | paste.
 
Nope that does not work either.

OK - are you connecting to another XP Pro machine or a Terminal Server? Are
you using the latest Remote Desktop client? Might try that (you can get it
at microsoft.com/downloads).

When connecting to Remote Desktop........ Options, Local Resources, try
ticking Disk Drives. I have to do this to cut and paste from the remote
computer to the local computer (but not for what you are attempting).
