Can I keep my visual studio window arrangement after I RDP?

I have all of my windows in Visual Studio arranged as I like them on my multi-monitor system. When I remote in from home to do some work, the windows are moved around in order to fit to my screens at home. When I come back to work all the windows are squashed onto one screen and I have to re-arrange them all to where I want them to be.

Is there any way to keep things the correct way when I come in to work?

The linked question specifies that all monitors are exactly the same. – thepaulpage – 2015-04-03T16:29:51.840

Visual Studio actually has a featured called Window Configurations that would probably help you out. However, unfortunately, there is no UI in VS to access Window Configuration. The StudioShell Add-In does give you access to them, so you could use it. In fact, the creator of StudioShell wrote a blog post explaining how he did exactly what you want, except with a docking station instead of RDP.

This looks like what I'm looking for. When I have time, I'll try it out and report back! – thepaulpage – 2015-04-03T16:30:48.433

Alternatively, you could set your RDP session to smart sizing & preserve your multi-screen setup remotely…

  • edit your .rdp files with notepad and type in the following line:
    smart sizing:i:1
