The shortcut for remote desktop is missing from the communications folder on
the start menu. I attempted to download and install the application again,
but it wouldnt do that because it said it was already installed on the
computer. Where do I find the application so I can create a shortcut?

Click to expand...

Create a new shortcut and enter the following in the location
box:
%SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe

Keep in mind that you can place the shortcut anywhere you want.
It's usually located here:
Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories\Communications

Try this. Go to the "C:\Windows\System32" folder and find the "mstsc.exe"
file. Right click on the file and select "Create shortcut". Move that
shortcut to the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories\Communications" folder. The system may tell you
that you need to make this short cut on the desktop. Answer yes, then simply
cut the shortcut from the desktop and paste in the Communications folder.
Rename the shortcut "Remote Desktop Connection". You also may need to be an
administrator to do this...
