Create remote desktop shortcut on your desktop

Do you also use a lot of remote desktop connections for your different (SharePoint) servers? A shortcut to your remote desktop computers can make using them easier.

  1. Right click on your desktop and select New -> Shortcut
  2. Enter: mstsc.exe /v:yourserver /w:800 /h:600

The command parameters are:

  • mstsc.exe – this is the name of the Remote Desktop application, and is required for the shortcut to work properly. 
  • yourserver – this is the name or IP address of the computer you want to connect to.
  • 800 – this is the resolution width for the computer that you’re connecting to.
  • 600 – this is the resolution height for the computer that you’re connecting to.

Note: the /w and /h parameters are NOT required
