This is such a neat problem. I figured it out one day because it irrated me so much. 1. Install VNC 2. Install VNC Service 3. Start->Programs->VNC->Run WinVNC(AppMode) 4. Enter your password, this is for the current user. 5. Start->Programs->VNC->Administrative Tools->Show Default Settings 6. Enter your password, this is for the local machine 7. Close WinVNC 8. Start WinVNC Service You may need to start the service helper if you want to modify settings of the winvnc instance running. This problem is due to the way Terminal Services operates. Since you are working in a virtual desktop. Have lots of fun!
