login directly to remote desktop

[Guest]

Is there a way in Windows XP to make it such that when you turn the PC on, it
will connect directly to remote desktop and not worry about local or domain
login on the PC? What would be really cool would be to have another option
in the login drop-down list of the local PC. For instance, a list of the
domains, the local PC, and a remote desktop so that if you logged into the
remote desktop it would just essentially launch the RDC and log you in
automatically with that username/password. Or, maybe it would be easier to
set the local PC to autologin with a more-or-less permissionless account that
would not even launch explorer but go directly into a remote desktop session.
Is there any way to do this? Basically make the PC a dumb terminal?

Making the PC a dumb terminal should be easy enough, but you want to also
use it as a normal PC from time-to-time? I think you can replace the hard
disk with a EEPROM that has an IDE interface, which has a thin-client
installed on it.

http://www.workthin.com/ probably has more info on that.

Failing that, you could have a profile for a certain user that had the RDP
file in their Startup group. So, when they login as that user they get the
RDP session pretty much straightaway.

This product will turn your PC into a dumb, but very clever little PC

That's cool, that. I'd love to have a mess around with one. £100 is a bit
steep though, for what is essentially an EEPROM with a bit of software on.
