cannot copy/paste from a remote XP via a "remote desktop" connection

[JD Young]

Hi,

I am using a remote desktop connection to login on another remote XP
machine. From time to time, I need to copy contents in the remote XP and
paste back to my first XP. It usually worked until recently. One possible
solution is to turn off the remote XP and then re-logon it. Practically it
causes lots of inconvenience. I wonder there is a better solution. Any
help is much appreciated.

Check your options in the Remote Desktop client. There is a setting for
allowing access to the Windows Clipboard. In the updated RDP client
(6.0.6000.16386), its under the Local Resources tab.
