I kiss your feet! You are a god! May blessings pour upon you!
Sages will praise your name in the gates!
Songs of joy and victory will be sung in your honour!
Blessed be the one who solved the cursed nested Remote Desktop Connections problem.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
If I had any money, I would send it to you. Alas! I am poverty stricken.
But I will send others to bask in the glow of your wisdom.
You name I will praise across the internet.
You will become like one of the founding fathers of the net.

And, er, thanks.

This might be for Win7 only – but you can also click-drag the little blue toolbar to slide its position from side to sdie. Then after repositioning them you can have them both positioned to where they don’t even overlap, pinned or unpinned.

This is awesome. I’m at home, RD into my work PC, need to check on another PC at work and run into this trap; I can’t get out of the second RD and didn’t think to try logging out. So I get a little infinite loop smile on my face and from the second RD try to RD into the first – no way this will work, and sure enough I’m ejected from the session and can’t RD back into my main work computer any more. Read your article and tried again. At the login page it gave me an error about not being able to connect to the second fast enough, so I simply hit ctrl+alt+break and it gave me a dialog with a way to close the second RD, then I was back to my original RD and it worked fine.

Thank you for sharing ctrl+alt+break, and my customer thanks you too.

Great tips I have also seen nested control bars ie primary then secondary all alog the top not obsuring each other and window of secondary offset – have not been able to find out how to do this yet. Anyone else know?
