Remote Desktop Client Disappearing from Taskbar after Loss of Connection

Question

I connect to several servers using Remote Desktop. Some of my sessions will reconnect after a loss of connection. Others will simply shut down and disappear from the taskbar. The settings in my .rdp files are the same except for the host name. How can I configure the connections so they always reconnect automatically (preferrably without a username/password prompt).

I'm sure the RDP settings are identical

Answer 1

Are you sure the settings are identical? This is found, for a given RDP, by clicking Options, then on the Experience tab, select the "Reconnect if connection is dropped" check-box.
