remote desktop: a couple of questions

Under Windows XP Professional I am limited to only one login at a time
over remote desktop, if another person connects or logs in at the
console they can disconnect my current session. Is it possible to
prevent someone from disconnecting an administrator using this method?

I also have another problem. I use my Linux system to connect to my XP
Pro system using remote desktop, I have tried using the rdesktop.org
client as well as one other which I can't remember the name of right
now. For no apparent reason (that I can figure out anyway) my windows
key gets 'stuck' at random times, when I press the 'e' key windows
interprets it as Win+E and gives me explorer. The only way I can
correct this problem is to press the shift and win keys until the
problem disappears (reconnecting doesn't seem to fix it either). This
problem occurs with both linux remote desktop clients I have tried,
under different linux distributions and XFree86 configurations. I
can't seem to find a solution. Has anyone else experienced this
problem, and if so do you have a solution?

Thanks,
Matthew
 
1st question - No, you cannot do that. If the other person who is logging in
is an administrator then there is no way to stop him/her from logging off
the current user. May be you can have just one administrator and all others
in the "Remote Desktop Users" localgroup.

2nd question - we haven't heard such an issue before. Check if they have any
latest RD client upgrades that you can install.
