1 Press the Win + R keys to open Run, type mstsc into Run, and click/tap on OK to open the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) tool. A) Right click on the RDC icon on your taskbar to open its jumplist. B) If the computer (ex: 'brink-laptop') you want to remove is pinned to the RDC jumplist, then Unpin from this list. (see screenshot below) C) In. On Windows workstations and servers, especially on RDS (Remote Desktop Services) servers, there is a regular need to remove old (unused) user profiles from C: Users. The main problem of any Remote Desktop server is the constant growth the size of user profile directories on a local drive. If you are logged on as an administrative user on the MultiPoint Services system, you can modify any user account, including changing the level of access for an account, changing a full name and password, or deleting an account. Open MultiPoint Manager in station mode, and then click the Users tab.

This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, see How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.

After you use the Remote Desktop Connection tool to connect to another computer, the name of the computer is added to the Remote Desktop Connection Computer box. It's easy for you to quickly select the same computer at a later time. However, the tool doesn't provide a way to clear the list of computers or remove one or more entries from the Computer box.

Remove entries in the Windows Remote Desktop Connection client

To remove entries from the Remote Desktop Connection Computer box in the Windows Remote Desktop Connection client, start Registry Editor, and then select this registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftTerminal Server ClientDefault

Entries appear as MRUnumber, and are visible in the right pane. To delete an entry, right-click it, and then select Delete.

Remove entries in the Mac Remote Desktop Connection client

To remove entries from the Remote Desktop Connection Computer box in the Mac Remote Desktop Connection client, delete the Users:Username:Library:Preferences:Microsoft:RDC Client:Recent Servers file.

Note

The list of all destination connections (including previous connections) are stored in an MRUnumber value in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftTerminal Server ClientDefault

Every new connection is given the value of MRU0, and the other values are then sequentially moved down in number. The MRU value can contain a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or an IP address of the computer to which you connect. For example:

• MRU0REG_SZ192.168.16.60
• MRU1REG_SZcomputer.domain.com

This article describes User Account Control (UAC) and remote restrictions.

Applies to: Windows Vista
Original KB number: 951016

Introduction

User Account Control (UAC) is a new security component of Windows Vista. UAC enables users to perform common day-to-day tasks as non-administrators. These users are called standard users in Windows Vista. User accounts that are members of the local Administrators group will run most applications by using the principle of least privilege. In this scenario, least-privileged users have rights that resemble the rights of a standard user account. However, when a member of the local Administrators group has to perform a task that requires administrator rights, Windows Vista automatically prompts the user for approval.

How UAC remote restrictions work

To better protect those users who are members of the local Administrators group, we implement UAC restrictions on the network. This mechanism helps prevent against loopback attacks. This mechanism also helps prevent local malicious software from running remotely with administrative rights.

Local user accounts (Security Account Manager user account)

When a user who is a member of the local Administrators group on the target remote computer establishes a remote administrative connection by using the net use *remotecomputerShare$ command, for example, they won't connect as a full administrator. The user has no elevation potential on the remote computer, and the user cannot perform administrative tasks. If the user wants to administer the workstation with a Security Account Manager (SAM) account, the user must interactively log on to the computer that is to be administered with Remote Assistance or Remote Desktop, if these services are available.

Domain user accounts (Active Directory user account)

A user who has a domain user account logs on remotely to a Windows Vista computer. And, the domain user is a member of the Administrators group. In this case, the domain user will run with a full administrator access token on the remote computer, and UAC won't be in effect.

Note

This behavior is not different from the behavior in Windows XP.
