    Remote Desktop Messes up Icons


    I have a question about Remote Desktop.

    I connect to my main home computer from numerous machines. Whenever I do, it affects the icons on my main computer's desktop. Sometime very badly.

    I understand that this is a function of the resolution of the machine I'm connecting with.

    Is there a way to lock down those icons or some other work around so that remote desktop will not affect my main computer's desktop?

    Thanks!!
