Is it possible to change the position of the Remote Desktop Connection client bar? It's really annoying that I can only seem to drag it in the top area of the window.
Can I move the bar so it appears on the right-hand side of the window?

It is now possible to remove it all together. In the Remote Desktop Connection windows, under the Display tab, uncheck the "Display the connection bar when I use the full screen."

If you can't see the bar - You can get out of Remote desktop ..and go back to local computer using Ctrl + Alt + Break

Unfortunately not. For info, there is a complete list of the available customisations here:

As microsoft's links have a habit of going dead, the page title is:

But you can have it minimise if you click the pin icon, to see it again bring your mouse up to the top of the screen.
Here is a list of all the options you have for a remote desktop connection, they all seem to focus on visual output coming from the remote machine, and security nothing about the client bar.

It's still annoying minimized, like apps that require me to bring my cursor to the top of the screen a lot. For example, I dunno, a web browser. – Jay Sullivan – 2017-01-18T04:12:54.893

As of 2020, it is now possible to move the bar. On the extreme left there is the "pin" icon. If you click that, you can drag the bar where you want.
If you just leave it there, it'll vanish after a moment, but reappear if you move your mouse to the top of the screen.
While it's visible, if you click on the "pin" icon again, it'll stay put but in the new place.

If you hover to the left of the pin, you will get a cursor which shows you that you can resize the bar. And if you click on your computer's name, you can drag it left or right. That allows me to put it just left of the minimize button on full screen windows.
If only Microsoft would give us a way of remembering where we put it and saving that for our next session.

With the above option... Is the best way to temporary 'bring it back' with Ctrl + Alt + Break like mentioned below (but that minimizes the window at same time and have to maximize it again)? – armyofda12mnkeys – 2017-02-22T04:24:09.103
