Hello all

I am trying to develop a utility to erase all the recordings of a RDP
session i made from source. I use RDP a lot from places like a CAFE while on
move.
Unfortunately, the last access server information (and sometime the username
and password saved accidentally) remains on the shared source PC and poses a
big security thread.
How do I get rid of them (programmatically or manually)?

Please help me

TIA

See this article for help with the history issue. Unfortunately its a
registry hack...

You can also configure the Remote Desktop host PC to always prompt for a
password to work around the issue of saving the user credentials on a public
PC. This is written for Vista and RDP 6.0 but its similar for XP Pro.

Make sure you use a *STRONG* password in any case....

Hi
Thank you for your answer. MS article on history is good and answered ONE of
my problems.
Is there a way to see where the credentials saved in windows. I just wanted
to make sure they are SAFELY erased.
