Opening an RDP connection using current logon credentials.

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Is there anyway to open an RDP connection to a terminal server without having
to prompt the user for a username and password OR having to enter it in the
RDP connection and saving it. The reason I ask is that our users are
required to change their passwords every 30 days. If the RDP connection is
set up with their username and password then after they change it the
connections will have to be updated to reflect the password change. For
users that are automatically connected to the terminal server at logon this
is extremely cumbersome because an administrator is required to edit their
RDP connection as it is not available to them in the start menu or on their
desktop. I would like to know if it is possible to open an RDP connection to
a terminal server using the credentials of the user that is currently logged
onto the machine.

TIA,
Cary
