Notes

• To start Remote Desktop Connection, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click Remote Desktop Connection.
• Depending on the policies of your network or the configuration of the terminal server to which you want to connect, you might be prompted to supply your password upon connection even if you supply it for automatic logon.
• When you click Connect, the information you have entered in Options becomes the default setting for all Remote Desktop connections and is saved in a file called Default.rdp. To create connections with different or connection-specific options, see Save your connection settings to a file.
