MS Rdp Client questions

[Dave T]

I'd like to customize the behavior of the MS RDP Client (embedded web
control).

My general question is, where is the best place for documentation on
this stuff? I found some here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d..._using_the_remote_desktop_activex_control.asp

, but it's pretty dense - I'd really like some sample code.

My specific question right now is:

Is there a way to "disassociate" the terminal server session from the
browser window that initiated it? The way we have it working now is
that if you close the browser window that initiated the session, or
even navigate to a new page, the TS session window will die. Not
good. What we'd really like is to have a way to launch the TS session
in a seperate window (like you get with the regular Terminal Services
client), that isn't tied to the browser window that it was launched
from.

Another thing I'd like to be able to do is to get rid of the "connect
local drives" prompt, perhaps via setting a property of the MSRDP
Client.

Thanks!

Anyone?

Or, is there a more appropriate newsgroup for posting this type of question?

Thanks.

Brian Madden has a good section in his new book regarding the customization of the Remote Desktop Web Connection. There are some things he listed that I had never even considered, so it's worth a read. HIs book is available here

Terminal Services for Microsoft Windows Server 2003: Advanced Technical Design Guid
http://www.workthin.com/tsbooks.ht

Other than that, the only reference I'm aware of is here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...rmserv/using_remote_desktop_web_connection.as

All TS programming refs here
