By link I am assuming you mean web link and want to use the TS Client
ActiveX control. This is possible.

Look up the IMsTscSecuredSettings interface in MSDN. This allows you
to set the 'StartProgram' property.

For additional guidance, I recommend checking out the TS FAQ at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/community/centers/terminal/terminal_faq.mspx
under the 'Client' heading there's:

Q. I get Vbscript errors when using the Terminal Services Advanced
Client - what can I do?

A. This usually occurs because the Web control cannot find the server
you want to connect to. See VBScript Error When You Use Terminal
Services Advanced Client (Q282128)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q282128 for
troubleshooting steps.

Q. How do I script or program the Terminal Services Advanced Client?

A. See Scripting the Terminal Services Advanced Client
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwts/html/w2ktsac.asp

Q. How do I use the Remote Desktop Web Connection?

A. First you must install Remote Desktop Web Connection. The
Installing Remote Desktop Web Connection in Windows XP (Q284931)
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q284/9/31.asp
step-by-step article shows you how.

You use the Remote Desktop Web Connection the same way you use the
standard Remote Desktop Connection application. You enter in the blank
field the name of the remote computer you want to connect to and then
press the connect button.

To get to the page through Internet Explorer just enter
http://yourwebserver/tsweb/ in the address field, where
"yourwebserver" is the name of the computer on which you installed the
Remote Desktop Connection.

Q. Is there an API reference for the Remote Desktop Web Connection
from a Web page?

A. The Remote Desktop Web Connection is documented in Remote Desktop
ActiveX Control Interfaces
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...remote_desktop_activex_control_interfaces.asp

How about someone actually posting some code examples instead of references to tech article that are of no help please?
 
Since the concensus is that people really want scripts, I recommend
looking at some of the awesome TS sites made by our TS MVPs on these
newsgroups. I really like

Forgot to mention. That script does start an initial program.
