Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / November 2005Missing Taskbar When Using Remote Desktop Connection
How do I get the Remote Desktop Connection to start a program automatically and still show me the Windows task bar and "Start" button? I am running Remote Desktop Connection 1.0.3 on a Mac G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.3. I have noticed if I set up Remote Desktop to start Outlook 2003 upon logon, I do not get the Windows task bar and "Start" button. I set Outlook 2003 to start automatically by starting Remote Desktop Connection and going to Options > Programs > "Start A Program" and checking "Start the following program upon logon". I then typed the path to Outlook on the space provided. If I set up the Remote Desktop Connection options so that Outlook does NOT automatically launch on logon, then I get the "Start" button and task bar. Any help would be appreciated. The whole idea with defining a starting application is that you do *not* see the Terminal server desktop (and thus: no Start menu or Taskbar). The only workaround to get what you want is to *not* define a starting application. That will give you a full desktop session on the server (with the Start menu and Taskbar). Then put a shortcut to Outlook in your Startup folder on the server. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ clemke@email.toast.net wrote on 29 nov 2005 in microsoft.public.mac.rdc: > How do I get the Remote Desktop Connection to start a program > automatically and still show me the Windows task bar and "Start" [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Vera - I kind of figured Remote Desktop Connection worked that way by design. Just wanted to be sure where was no shortcut to reveal the task bar. |
