I hadn't heard of that. I located it at http://www.rdesktop.org/, but what's with all the "download the source" links. Do I just use any C compiler to compile it? I understand why such things exist and get the whole open-source world and all that, but it's also nice just to download a setup.exe from time to time. J Thanks Jim.

The way that it saves logon credentials is very frustrating. For one, it takes about 15 steps to get the credentials setup, and as far as I can tell, I can't setup RDP files with saved credentials without actually connecting to the remote machine. . Secondly, it seems that the logon credentials are not stored in the RDP file. This is infuriating. I have a bunch of RDP files, many of which connect to the same machine. But, they are meant to have different logon credentials. But, this seems to no longer be possible, since the credentials are saved on a per-host basis. I'm going to have to fall back to setting up unique host names in my HOSTS file to get around this. . What the hell is the point in making me enter logon credentials in the RDP client instead of just entering them in the Windows logon dialog box if I've chosen not to specify credentials yet? It seems as though the reasoning behind this has something to do with security. I guess this kinda makes sense, although it's only applicable when connecting to another Vista machine (and the new server OS, I'll assume). I also find this to be a bit of a PITA, and I hope it's a configurable option on the host machine whether or not to allow ad-hoc connections to the logon screen. . The logon credentials dialog box requires too many clicks, but this seems to be the theme in Vista. . I can understand (but don't like) why I can't paste the password textbox in the user credentials dialog, but why can't I paste into the username area? Basic functionality. Thanks for letting me bitch.
