There has been quite a design change in the new rdp client.

I'm using Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe 6.0.6000.16386)
on XP Pro for remote administration of a number of Windows 2000
Server (SP2 and all the latest patches) and Windows Server 2003
machines.

I'm trying to get the client to remember credentials and
passwords for the remote connections so that I can simply click
a shortcut to connect to any one of the servers. I'm having
mixed luck at doing this. One of the odd things is that
connections where it once successfully remembered the
credentials, it now no longer does.

For the Windows 2003 Servers, when I load a RDP file, or even
just type in the host name, I see:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------- The saved
credentials for this remote computer wil be used to connect.
You can edit or delete these credentials.

[ ] Always ask for credentials
-----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

But on the other servers, I see only:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------- You will be asked
for credentials when you connect.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

And indeed, I am asked (on the client side). When I check
"Rember my password" the credentials are never remembered. I
have no problems logging in - that works perfectly. Just that
the client machine refuses to remember credentials for most of
my remote computers.
