My home network consists of a couple Windows XP machines and a Windows 7 box. One of the Windows XP boxes is like a shared server accessed via Remote Desktop. I have an account on there and my gf has another.
Previously I was able to save RDC shortcuts to this shared server including credentials. So in order to access the server from a computer on the network, I just needed to open the shortcut. I thus would have two shortcuts, one for my account and one for my gf's.
In Windows 7, it seems to store credentials for a box based on machine name. I.e. I can only store one set of credentials per machine name. This seems incredibly stupid so my question is:
In Windows 7, is there some way to have RDC shortcuts that use different credentials to login to the same target box?
4Just wanted to say that this new behavior (only allowing the possibility of saving one set of credentials per login per target machine) is incredibly obnoxious. Leave it to MS to gimp their OS whenever and wherever possible, and call it 'progress' ;( – Mordachai – 2010-07-20T20:58:47.033
1agree, it is quite retarded. i'm sure they thought they had some great reason for this, but in the end it totally ruins perfectly reasonable use cases and workflows. – w-- – 2010-07-26T18:47:33.987
