and my system is set to 800x600 I have the display set to full screen under
options for the RDC however it does not show full screen. Any ideas?

Default RE: Screen Size Issue

Try this...

Create an .rdp file using 1024x768 as the resolution. Save it then edit the
file using Notepad and set the resolution to whatever your real desktop size
is, ie. 800x600 or whatever. The parameters to modify are the desktopwidth
and desktopheight parameters. Save the modified .rdp file then click on the
file to start the session with the modified resolution.

Here is a snippet of an .rdp file for my desktop as an illustration...This
file is on my laptop client...

screen mode id:i:1
desktopwidth:i:1024
desktopheight:i:768
