Good luck, mine won't budge an inch!

I only installed them this morning. However, the one I am leaning towards is
RD Tabs. I like the look and feel of the app. You save your RDP connections
in a favorites folder which is navigated via a tree. For me, although the
navigation tree was useful in vRD and provided quick access, too much space
on the screen was taken up. RD Tabs saves them across the top in, as you
could have guessed, tabs.

There are also a ton of options to play around with, including default
connection options. You also have a link to Microsoft Terminal Services
Manager. Another link is 'Remote Computer Information - RD Tabs', which
gives you session information of any remote TS, with the ability to
disconnect, logoff and send message.

I have changed a few of the options to personalise it for me, but so far so
good.

We really only use RDP here. However, one of the other tools, Terminal v1.7c
lets you connect using RDP, VNC, VMRC, TAS, Telnet and more. It also places
an icon in the system tray for easy access to connections.

All the best,
Toby
