Please give attention to the fact that when rebooted, you will not be
able to remotely login to the computer ... In "workgroup" mode in any
case. In domanial mode, the DC will keep the "TS" connection alive (I
think so ...).
The best method to reboot your computer si actually the command "start |
Run | shutdown -r -f -t 5 (to wait 5 seconds before). You will see a
message showing you that your computer shall restart in 5 seconds.

The first part of Ben's message is incorrect.
If your configuration is setup correctly - you can reboot as often as you
like remotely and still be able to remote back in to continue working
remotely - no matter if your PC is a member of a domain or not.
As for the second part - I do not know if I agree with the shutdown command
being "the best method" - but it certainly is *one method* that can be used.

That is NOT true.
Following your way, best method to reboot would be:
Start | Run | shutdown -r -f -t 0

That's what happened on ALL computers I set up for remote desktop
control ... BUT i always change the default RDC port in registry for
these computers (55xxx instead of 3389) and that's the only change i
made. I asked Microsoft if this change could affect the way RD works
but they reply to my mail with a simple answer : "No". So ? ...
If you want ! I always let 5 seconds to properly leave all running
programs that I would have forgotten.

You must have done something else too.
I have a few machines with changed RDC port, no problems connecting after
reboot.
Once I decided on force option (-f), I don't have to "properly leave all
running programs", whatever that means.

I have not done something else than changing RDC port ... after reboot,
impossible to connect. I "must" log in at least once !
Right
but it let me the time to shut properly my word processor andsave my work that I did not see
!
