Hi all,
I have an .RDP file that I've manually modified so it contains the lines:
desktopwidth:i:4096
desktopheight:i:1024
....so I can span a Remote Desktop window across three of the four monitors I
have hooked up to my main machine. This works fine, but as soon as I try to
go above that (horizontally), the RDP window comes up in 800x600.
Can anyone confirm that this is some arbitrary limitation that MS put into
Remote Desktop?
As mentioned, I have 4 monitors hooked up to my machine:
a) 1280x1024
b) 1280x1024
c) 1920x1200
d) 1280x1024
I'd like the Remote Desktop window to span across monitors B, C and D (thus
a total horizontal resolution of 4480), and leaving monitor A available to
keep an eye on tasks running on the local PC, so I have a gap of 384 pixels
horizontally that I can't use. I also have a gap vertically on monitor C,
but I can live with it.
It's not a huge deal, but I'm curious to see whether anyone is seeing the
same limitation or have gotten around it somehow.
Ideally I'd prefer to have an RDP window run in fullscreen mode across
monitors B, C and D, but based on my experimentation, mstsc.exe's /span
switch only works well when all monitors have the same resolution. Even if
it did, it doesn't look like you can use the /span switch to run fullscreen
on selective monitors--eg, it'll try to take over *all* monitors, which
isn't what I'm trying to do...
