Remote desktop connection and dual-monitors

External Since: Oct 22, 2003 Posts: 1

Hi,

On my desktop PC, I'm using two monitors at 1024x768 resolution.

When I connect via my laptop, it ends up moving all of my desktop icons onto
one of my monitors (putting them back is a big pain in the a$$).

Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Steve

You could try locking the icons and turn off auto-arrange... This is
about the best that you can do...
