Windows Remote Desktop Connection for just a single window (or a single program)

Is it possible to have just one program running on the remote Windows machine appear in the local monitor, rather than the whole remote desktop?

I heard SeamlessRDP provides something like that but only for connecting from Linux to Windows. What should I use in the case of connecting from Windows to Windows?

Stephen Jennings has it right, use TS RemoteApp. You may be interested in a comparison on features in similar applications: http://jaysonrowe.com/2008/07/20/windows-server-2008-terminal-services-vs-citrix-xenapp-vs-2x-application-server/

Your link seems not to be correct, @ta.speot.is . – Sopalajo de Arrierez – 2018-10-05T14:09:44.183

This is a feature offered by Terminal Services RemoteApp on Windows Server 2008 and greater. However, your system administrator needs to set this up and publish the app for you.

A poor man's implementation of this would be to run a remote desktop session in a smaller-than-fullscreen window, then maximize the app you want inside that.
