Disconnecting from an RDP session

Guest

Is is possible to disconnect from an RDP session without having the host PC
log off? I need to connect to a PC to initiate the start of a program but
when disconnecting, the session logs off and the program stops. Locking the
PC is not an option either. It must be a disconnect that leaves the PC
logged in and the desktop visible.

Logoff and disconnect are different. If you want to keep the program running, you should do "disconnect" instead of "logoff". To disconnect, click Start and then select disconnect (no logoff).
