Re: Remote Desktop Re-Connect

I trying (unsuccessfully) to find an answer, I came across printer
redirection. But only one of my network printers is available from the
remote session, and my local (USB) printer is not.

Also, one of the articles said I could disconnect with Start->Disconnect,
but I see no disconnect on the Start menu, nor anywhere to enable that
option. I see Log Off and Shut Down, neither of which serve for temporary
disconnect.

Kind regards,

I use Remote Desktop Connection with XP to connect to a W2003 server. RDC
gives me a partial bar (centered along the top edge of my screen, covering
perhaps two-thirds of the screen width) with minimize and close buttons at
the right end and pinned with a push-pin icon at the left end. I use that
minimize to hide the windows of the remote session and return me to the
windows of my local host.

Sometimes when I reconnect after the connection is broken, I am offered
existing sessions with which to re-establish connection. (They usually
appear to be too many, but that's not important.)

The problem is that when I re-establish a connection to a session, that
session no longer has the top bar on the screen, so it is very
inconvenient for me to return to my local host session. Brushing my mouse
pointer against the top edge does not reveal the bar.

Is there any way that I can get that top bar back? If it's not pinned, I
could press the push-pin icon to keep it pinned, of course, but how can I
get access to it, again, please?

Kind regards,
Michael K
