Re: TS/RDP for virtual KM solution

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I use another approach.

My desk machine has two monitors with its session extended to the both
monitors (also a built-in feature).

Then I simply RDP to a second computer and maximize its session to the
second monitor.

One keyboard and mouse controls both! No additional software required.

I, along with other members of my team, have come to rely on Remote
Desktop
in XP Pro both for getting work done while away from the office as well as
simplifying demos and other presentations within our building.

Since this feature is built in and doesn't require a separate install
(frowned upon by our IT administrators), we'd also like to make use of it
as
a sort of virtual keyboard/mouse switch when using two computers side by
side, ideally shifting focus by simply moving the mouse cursor off of the
side of one screen and having it appear on the other, shifting keyboard
focus
as well. I've used similar solutions in the past, such as win2vnc, based
on
the x2x program for X Windows systems, which provided such functionality
based on the VNC remote access system.

I'd like to try to build such a solution around TS/RDP, but have had
difficulty finding relevant information in the MSDN documentation. The
ActiveX control seems like the easiest route to go, but I've not found
obvious information about overcoming the challenges of configuring the
connection so that the remote screen remains visible and so that display
updates are minimized or eliminated, with any updates discarded on the
local
system.

Is something like this feasible? If so, can someone provide a pointer to
a
good starting point (or points) in the documentation that might clarify
how
to proceed? Thank you for your time and expertise...
