cjoyce1980 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 found a work around, saying that i was suck with it..... i never believethat poo poo.In order to do this, you need to open up the client (manually, not specifiying .rdp file) and connect to your XP Pro machine using the same computer name stored in your .rdp file. When prompted for your credentials, enter them exactly as you would if you were entering them on your XP Pro machine, and check the save password box. After you have successfully connected, disconnect from your XP Pro/2003 Server machine. Open up the client again, make sure the computer name is still set to your XP Pro/2003 Server machine as used above, and then click the edit credentials hyperlink. The credentials screen should have your username as entered above, with the password box blank. Click the OK button to save your credentials, do *not* enter a password in the box. Uncheck "Always ask for credentials". Optionally set all of your connection preferences and then click the Save As button and overdefault.rdp file for this connection. Click the Connect button. This time it should connect to your XP Pro/2003Server machine, but stop at the Log On to Windows screen with the user name field pre-filled and the password blank. Username and password are no longer stored in the .rdpfile. Please let me know if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Joker Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Password never was stored in the rdp file, nor should it be. I've always just created multiple rdp files one for each machine I regularily connect to (creds stored as needed) and it has always worked out just fine in both v5 & 6. If you're going to Email someone a connector (phone them with the pw), you sure as hell don't want the password embeded where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can grab it and acess the system!

PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 how is that an answer? your question was if you could change the appearance of the interface. It had nothing to do with automating the connection.I never said you were 'suck' with it nor did I imply that you were stuck with it. I suggested you uninstall if you prefer the look of 5 over 6.
