After you create the initial connection, Remote Desktop opens with the default connection
already set up. If you want to use the default connection, all you need to do is click Connect when
Remote Desktop starts. Otherwise, you can click Options, click Open, choose the connection you
want to use from the Open dialog box, click Open in the Open dialog box, and finally click Connect
to make the connection. You won??™t need to create a setup more than once if you save it to disk.
It??™s also possible to double-click the RDP file containing a connection in Windows Explorer to
make the connection to the server, so you can simply place the RDP file on your desktop to make
the connection instantly accessible.
WORKING WITH THE REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION APPLICATION 33
Setting the Display
The display settings you use affect how much screen real estate you have for performing tasks and
also affect performance. Using a larger screen size gives you more space to work. However, a larger
screen size also requires more network bandwidth to transmit the data. Consequently, you must
weigh the need to see as much as possible on the remote server against the performance requirements
for your task.
