Like the other posts, we use RDP files to direct users to applications on our servers. When editing the RDP file, you have the option to specify an application and a starting directory. When one uses the work around:
@echo off
set WinDir=
start C:\Windows\SysWow64\mstsc.exe
It is possible to assign a server name but there does not seem to a way to assign the Shell = Server\program or Alternate Shell = Server\Directory. Nor does it seem to be possible to assign the RDP file, as the documentation seems to indicate. Does anyone know how to force the 32bit version of MSTSC.exe to accept the settings file *.RDP?
