How do you control resolution and/or scaling of icons in RDP connections in Windows 8.1?, when using either ...
- the new "Remote Desktop" store app
- the old desktop "Remote Desktop Connection"
I've got a laptop and Surface Pro 3, both Windows 8.1, connecting to a desktop PC, again Windows 8.1
The Surface is fine, if high resolution, but the laptop connection has got very large icons on the desktop
Is there some way to control this? ... not the size text for the icons, which can be changed in Control Panel\Appearance and Personalisation\Display
EDIT: added point concerns store or desktop connection
When you connect, you can set the resolution in the RDP options... Click
show options
and then chooseDisplay

I was trying the new "Remote Desktop" store application, but it's "Edit" option doesn't seem to have a resolution choice? Even with the old RDC, I still get enormous desktop icons – SteveC – 2015-07-07T11:07:05.517
I wonder if you can check the text size to make sure it's not only 125% or similar – Dave – 2015-07-07T11:12:41.567
@Dave Crossing postings ... icon text set to 10 point, can't see a 125%? – SteveC – 2015-07-07T11:20:18.423
