I have 2 monitors, unfortunately one is smaller than the other.
I want to use the 1920x1200 monitor for a fullscreen RDP session (this is where I do my main work).
And I would like to use the smaller (1280x1024) monitor on the side for email/skype/browsing etc.
The problem is that the RDP "fullscreen" resolution seems to be limited to the resolution of the monitor that I configured as my primary screen.
No problem, I thought, and configured my bigger screen as primary. But the problem with this setup is that the fullscreen RDP session hides my taskbar, and I miss email and skype notifications.
How can I have my taskbar display on my smaller screen, while still have a fullscreen RDP session on my bigger screen?
Edit: My current workaround is this: Make my bigger screen primary, start the RDP session, then make my smaller screen primary (not satisfactory at all).
This may sound stupid, but have you tried to drag the RDP Window to the bigger screen and maximize it there? Windows should, by default, maximize an application to the screen it's currently on. – who.knows – 2013-07-18T06:40:28.347
1Yes I did. When I click the maximize button, the rdp window just resizes to the resolution of my smaller primary screen (1280x1024). – Reto Höhener – 2013-07-18T06:43:55.110
What about the resolution setting in the RDP "View" configuration tab, is 1280x1024 the maximum you can set there? – who.knows – 2013-07-18T06:46:20.650
No, the last 2 settings are 1920x1200 and fullscreen. It is saved at fullscreen. – Reto Höhener – 2013-07-18T06:48:50.127
