Thanks:-) I know that mstsc is also capable of connecting to a remote desktop. However, we need to specify other arguments, like disk mapping, in command line, which cannot be achieved through mstsc. So we intend to use rdesktop.
Can I make the rdesktop to full screen? Until now, I can only open the remote desktop in a window.
