Remote+Desktop+Won't+Maximize

=Problem:= A laptop is used to remotely connect to other computers and it is docked and undocked frequently. As a result when connecting to other machines using Remote Desktop the screen size of the Remote Desktop Connection will not open in a maximized window even when clicking the maximize button.

Solution 1:
The RDP-client remembers the resolution of your last connection. This can be remedied by adjusting the resolution in the RDP-connection dialog to "Full Screen"


 * 1) Go to **RUN** and type **mstsc**
 * 2) In the RDC window that opens click **Options**
 * 3) Switch to the **Display** tab and ensure the slider bar under **Remote Desktop Size** is set to Full Screen
 * 4) Click **Connect**

Solution 2:
While in a remote desktop connection session, try Ctrl-Alt-Break. That should force the RDC window to go full screen.

Solution 3:
Another possibility is to create a desktop shortcut for each of your frequently used resolutions. This can be done by making a shortcut to RDP and adding the following flags: > /w:[width] and /h:[height] Examples of shortcuts would then be: > **Docked**: %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe /w:1600 /h:1200 > **Laptop**: %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe /w:1920 /h:1200 > > >
