Updated 9/30/2008. It now supports sp1 but the console switch will fail on vista without sp1. So upgrade;)... This gadget is a launch pad for quickly remote controlling other Windows machines via RDP. It is quick easy and convenient to use. Supports 10 predefined connections and type in your dynamic server address. I found the other solutions available didn't meet my needs. If you have suggetions I am happy to incorporate them. Pleae let me know my email is in the configuration tab. Thanks - Brian

It's okay
great tool but ... (05/03/2008)
It's a great tool with interesting options (esp the quicklaunch mode) but it would've been great to go for a sleeker interface, more compatible with the general vista sidebar design to allow further integration. The style of the gadget really screams out with all the others gadgets i have ...

Good Gadget (02/01/2008)
Despite what some may say, this is a very nice tool. Keep up the good work and keep the new gadgets coming.

Ugly (01/09/2007)
the UI is ugly as snot. Better features than other RDP controls, but I don't wanna look at that ugly ass thing. It would have been a much better use of UI to have a blank field (with a nice transparent background) which is filled with small icons representing configured RDPs. That way you can just click on the first icon to launch the first RDP or click the last to bring the flyout for a detailed list of all RDPs.

Does not work on Windows 7 (02/02/2009)
When a server is selected from the quick launch, it does not detect the server name and starts connecting to "/f". Is that supposed to be the option for full screen?

Nice tool (22/09/2008)
I like this tool and it seems to work great, but there is one thing you could fix and that is the look. If you could come up with a slicker design and it would be a lot better.
