It seems that with regular RDP, I can only do it using one local screen; if there is a way to use multiple screens please let me know how. A couple of years ago, a friend showed me how to use Cygwin to establish a remote desktop connection using two local screens which worked well until a disk crash. That friend is now far away and very busy - I'd rather not bother him.

How is this related to Cygwin? To establish remote desktop connection you use RDP or mstsc.exe. -- Andrew DeFaria <http://defaria.com> I was born by Cesarean section, but you really can't tell...except that when I leave my house, I always go out the window... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
