Re: Remote Desktop

What's the name of the folder? What are the names of some of the files it
contains?

I can't think of a reason why having your local drives available in a Remote
Desktop session would be a security issue.

You might want to check in Computer Management and see if any folders or
drives on your computer are set for network sharing. Go to Control Panel and
open the Administrative Tools folder. Launch Computer Management. Click on
Shared Folders. Click on Shares. In the right hand pane, see if there are
any listings other than IPC$ and print$.

Good luck

Dear Nepatsfan

One more thing: I found a folder in my computer with loads of files,
presumably belonging to someone else. I deleted it but now wonder if this
was due to my opening Drive C for Remote Desktop access and if this sort
of thing endangers the safety/privacy of my system.

Any ideas?

Thank you

JB

To access local drives in a Remote Desktop session, do the following.

On the Local Resources page, click on the More button.
In the box that appears, click on the + sign next to drives and make
sure your C drive is checked.
This should result in your C drive showing up in My Computer or Windows
Explorer on the remote computer.

Keep in mind that there may be policies in place on your school's
server to disable local drive mapping. That might be a reason why you
can't print locally. You might want to check with your network
administrator.

Good luck

Thank you.

Slowly, I get there...

The problem now is that the printer WAS ticked, but I stll can't print
in my local printer.

Also, is there a way of accessing from the Remote Desktop files in my
Drive C: i.e. transfer files from one Desktop to another?

Thank you very much

JB

Take a look at this image.

Note the Options button in the lower right hand corner of Remote
Desktop Connection.

As for a Start menu shortcut, mine's under All Programs ->
Accessories. Keep in mind that you can create a shortcut to mstsc.exe
and drag it to wherever you want on your Start menu.

Good luck

Thanks, but I can't find any 'Options' button. Where is it.

I also don't have a direct shortcut to Remote Desktop and have to do
Run/Mstsc. Why is that?

Thanks

XP Home SP3

I am using Remote Desktop for the first time to access my uni's
server. I am abroad and even though all seems to work fine, I am
unable to print directly (or indirectly, for that matter) from the
Remote Desktop to the local printer. What do I need to do?

Thank you very much



Launch Remote Desktop Connection.
Click on the Options button.
Click on the Local Resources tab.
Put a check mark in the box next to Printers in the Local devices
and resources section.
Click OK.

Good luck
