Client Connection Manager still available?

[Guest John Walker]

On my old XP machine, in the Start/Programs list there was an item called

"Terminal Services Client" and below that was "Client Connection Manager"

which was basically a folder with a bunch of shortcuts for all of my terminal

services connections. I loved that because it made all the connections easy

to find and open, but with my new XP machine I don't see the "Terminal

Services Client" anymore... I have to connect going directly to the "Remote

Desktop Connection", which I don't think is as convenient to use.

How can I get the Client Connection Manager on to my new machine? It's XP

Professional, Version 2002 SP2.

Thanks!

Hi John,

 

Client Connection Manager (conman.exe) no longer exists

in the newer client versions. You can achieve similar

functionality by saving .rdp files in a folder. This folder

will be like the connection manager screen:

 

- Double-click to connect to one of the saved connections (.rdp file)

- Right-click and choose Edit when you want to change settings

- When you want to create a new .rdp file right-click on an

existing one and choose Edit, modify settings as needed, then

click Save As and enter the new name
