That happens automatically when you define a Starting application.
The application, running in a separate window, is the only thing
users will see.
BUT: as I wrote earlier, it is dead easy to break out of any
application and start explorer or a command window. So you should
*not* regard this as a security measure, just a convenience for the
user.

Thanks. I will try that and see if it works. But how do I get
rid of the taskbar and the start button at the bottom of the
terminal window ? Any ideas on that ? Thanks.

You can define a Starting application in several ways:

1. in the rdp client - Options - Programs
2. on the TS, in Terminal Services Configuration - rdp-tcp -
properties
3. in a Group Policy

With all three options, you have to make sure that you use the
correct path to the batch script.

Hi

I have been trying to mirror some Windows 2000 server behavior
in Windows 2003 server with little success ! Here's the
scenario:

In Windows 2000 server, I used Client Connection manager to
create a new connection and set it to open a particular batch
script which in turn loads an application (say AutoCAD). So
whenever I connect to this connection, say 'foo' it opens up a
terminal services client window with AutoCAD running on it.
There is no 'Start' button or 'taskbar' running on the
terminal window, only the AutoCAD application.

I tried to mirror this behavior using Remote Desktop
Connection in Windows Server 2003 but with limited success !
The batch script does not get executed when the connection is
connected to. Instead a terminal window shows up with the view
of the desktop (as seen when I otherwise log into the
computer). I also see the 'Start' button and the taskbar in
the bottom of the screen alongwith all the shortcuts placed on
the desktop. In order to get the batch script to run when the
terminal window shows up, I copied a shortcut to the batch
script in the Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder. This worked
but I still see the Start and taskbar. So effectively I have
"desktop sharing" while I only want "application sharing" i.e.
clients should only see the application (AutoCAD in this case)
and not have access to my desktop files and start options.

Can anyone suggest a way to resolve this problem ? Am I using
the correct software (Remote Desktop Connection) for what I
want to achieve or is there an alternative available ? Any
help/hints on how to proceed would be highly appreciated...
Thanks.
