Change the default resolution of Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc) - Super UserSeptember 9, by Kenneth Fisher. One of the things I hate most about using remote desktop is when the resolution for the remote server is way off what the size of my window is. You end up with the scroll bars on the side and bottom of the screen and spend half your time moving the screen around so that you can find what you need. It turns out there is an easy setting that forces the resolution to match the window size. Even if you end up with really weird window sizes.
The easiest is under the menu for the window left click on the icon at the top left of the window. Then select Smart sizing. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. Sure, just slide that "Display Configuration" back a notch to whatever resolution you want. Then go back to the "General" tab and click on the "Save" button. While you're at it, usually doesn't hurt to go to the Local Resources tab and uncheck Printers and review what else is shared seriously, who ever prints over RDP?
I personally work on a x laptop screen and like my Remote Desktop windows to be a bit smaller than the screen when maximised, so I run mstsc. You can also edit the. I usually just open it in notepad. You can edit and save just like any regular text file. The properties that I most commonly edit are desktopwidth , desktopheight , and winposstr. This also allows you to choose any resolution, not just the predefined ones in the GUI slider. The only part that is a little confusing is the parameters for winposstr ; leave the first two alone and the last four are left, top, right, bottom locations of the window respectively.
I have a three monitor setup with X resolution, and here is what I use to display the session on my third monitor with no scroll bars. I forgot to mention this. So say I have ten. I like starting mstsc. My scripts is named, "RDP. PS1" because RDP is easier to type than mstsc :. I have a combination of a "default. I did this because mstsc. By setting all my preferences in "default. Create a "default. I used PowerShell to add in a few other switches if I care to use them. For the most part though, all I type is:.
Here is what I did to solve the issue. It also works with older apps that don't handle high DPI scaling well. First one must tell Windows to look for a manifest file for an application by default — a registry entry. Next is to provide a manifest file for a given application — the executable file name followed by. The x laptop issue is quite common. Must more convenient is to choose to use your current desktop resolution, but in many clients this will yield less than desirable results You get the scroll bars unless you toggle full screen.
Many RDP clients also allow you to set a 'custom' res just prior to connect, and yes, most clients will remember your last sessions. One major thing you should be aware of. For all of us UNIX folks, we're going to be using things like vcenter, putty, etc. They don't follow the same set of rules as the rest of your desktop, so just make a note of that when setting your resolutions, and set your preferences according to how nicely the Windows desktop fits into your workspace, because you're just going to have to get used to moving those DOS-like windows about, as they'll always be a bit clunky.
You can also set 24bit color with a hack, because it's disabled by default, although there's really no need for most folks, and although some people like to disable printing, I find that using remote apps and printing locally via RDP is not only a dream, but part of my regular tasks on a daily basis.
