You ever need to hop onto another computer from your own without dragging cables everywhere? I grab the mstsc command quick. It pulls up that Remote Desktop window right away. Just type mstsc in the command prompt and smash enter. Boom, you're in business.
I like tweaking it sometimes for speed. Throw in /v followed by the computer's name or IP. Like mstsc /v:myworkpc. It jumps straight to connecting without fiddling around. Saves you those extra clicks.
If you want full screen action right off the bat, add /f after. mstsc /f. Your whole monitor turns into that remote view. Feels immersive, like you're there.
For admin stuff on servers, I slap /admin on the end. mstsc /admin. It logs you in with those high-level rights. Handy when troubleshooting glitches.
You can even save setups for later. Use /save to store a file with your prefs. Then call it up anytime with mstsc filename.rdp. Keeps things repeatable without hassle.
Switching users mid-session? Try /console if it's an older setup. Though most times it auto-handles now. I rarely need it anymore.
Connecting over console from afar works smooth too. Just mstsc /v
erver /console. Locks in that direct link.
If you're on a console already, /shadow lets you peek at another session. But watch permissions there. It can get tricky with approvals.
I once used mstsc to mirror a buddy's screen during a game crash. Added /clipboard to share copy-paste easy. Made fixing it a breeze across the room.
For those thin client vibes, /span spreads it over multiple monitors. mstsc /span. Your desktops blend seamless.
