Default Fit-to-Window / Aspect Ratio


We are wondering if Windows Remote Desktop has two very useful options:

FIRST, the option to scale the host desktop to fit the remote session
window? The host desktop would be resized, zoomed, or reduced/enlarged to
fill the remote session window without the need of scroll bars.

SECOND, the option to force the remote session window to maintain the proper
proportions, as it is resized, to accommodate the aspect ratio of the host
computer desktop.

Thanks for any help!

Default Re: Fit-to-Window / Aspect Ratio

Hello,

This is a common problem, and the best way I have found to fix this is
to use Remote Desktops (notice the s, its not remote desktop) the file
is called tsmmc..msc. Not only will it correct for aspect ratios it
allows you to remotely connect to multiple PCs at the same time.


This is a free download from Microsoft.com

Click on server/windows server 2003/downloads.

(works on XP too)
