Hi,
When I use Vista on one of my networked PC's to remote into another one
of my Vista PC's using Remote Desktop the desktop Icons of the remote PC are
rearranged/scrambled after the session ends. There are quite a number of
Icons arranged for easy access to frequently accessed programs, URLs, disk
locations, etc. Having them scrambled each time I connect with RDC is quite
a time waster. After performing some searches on the internet for people
having the same problem I found that a number of Vista users had similar
complaints and it seemed related to a discrepancy in the monitor resolution
of the local and remote PC's. The monitor resolutions on my local and my
remote PC's are, in fact, different. The screen resolution of my remote is
larger than that of the local. I found one person who claimed that tailoring
the RDP connection specification file to force a certain screen resolution
behavior might help. It sounded reasonable, I tried it and it failed.
Has anyone experienced this problem and, if so, do they have a solution.
If not, then as a circumvention, I would be happy to utilize whatever feature
Vista may have that lets you save/restore a desktop layout (if there is one).
Thanks,
