Re: Vista Remote Desktop Connection Authentication FAQ

Thanks! I had one of those questions (how to remove invalid domain
pre-populated...) I'm not sure that I see an actual answer, but I'll go
test! (looks like the actual answer is to blow away the current .RDP file
and do it right the first time, next time..)
