Remote Desktop 'Start program on connection'
In the Remote Desktop Connection app (in Accessories) that comes with Windows 7, there is a tab called "Programs". Under that tab are two fields, "Program path and file name:", and "Start in the following folder". I'd like to use this option to start an initial program when I connect to a Windows 7 Enterprise RDP host.
* Windows XP RDP hosts support the option to start an initial program
* Windows Server 2003 terminal server hosts support the option to start an initial program
* Windows Server 2008 terminal server hosts support the option to start an initial program if you authorize the program (I can't remember which tool you use, but it had something to do with RemoteApp)
* I can't find a way to make Windows 7 Enterprise hosts support this option. Obviously, there's no RemoteApp host configuration since that's only on 2008 Server.
Has anyone else been able to start an initial program on a Windows 7 RDP host?
The reason I'm trying to do this is so that I can use SeamlessRDP (Cendio AB - SeamlessRDP) with rdesktop from a RHEL4 machine. I've tried this combination and it works under: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008.
Thanks,
Peter
