Configuring Remote Desktop Connection to launch program.

[core20]

I have used Remote Desktop Connection for years now and find it very useful
in providing remote support for my clients. Or for my clients to log into
there own system from a remote site.

Currently, I’m attempting to use RDC with an additional need for security.
I need the program to automatically launch an Act 2009 database upon
connecting to a Windows XP Professional system.

Note the system being accessed is running Windows XP Pro SP-3, not a server,
and the remote user is using Vista Premium.

Here is my dilemma: I can set the “remote†user’s RDC to run a program upon
connection, but the remote user can go into those settings and remove them;
afterall, they are on the remote user's RDC window.

If this is done, RCD will access the Windows XP Pro system and go to
desktop, without launching the program, creating a security breach.

Is there a way to setup a log-in Profile in Windows XP Pro SP-3 such that
the log-in profile itself automatically launches my Act database program?
Meaning, the settings for what happened for the user upon connection would
reside on the "host" system. Most the posts I see here discuss setting up
the RDC from the remote side.

If there is a way to do this, could you direct me to a video or pod cast of
how to set this up? Maybe I could use scripts?

Scripts would be beyond my knowledge so a video of how this is done would be
killer...


Thanks.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN REPLY TO MY POST PLEASE?

NOT IN HERE

This newsgroup is for the discussion of Microsoft Publisher. Your
question has, as far as I can tell, NOTHING to do with Publisher.
Amazingly, the experts on RDC/RDP do not hang out in the Publisher
newsgroup.

Dear Ed.

As I review the entire Discussion Groups Page that I am on reading your post
and where I posted my question, I now find the smallest 5 font referrence to
publisher at the center right of the screen.

Originally I had searched for Remote Desktop Connection and down the center
of the entire page, are hits referrenceing RDC. RDC is mentioned nearly 20
times, post after post after post...

As I am not hanging out in this Discussion Group all the time, I can clearly
see how I 'thought I was in the correct foruem with 20 referrences to RDC to
the one small 5 font link that says publisher.

Dont know why I'm in the publisher foruem as my search term and all these
posts all relate to RDC?

Perhapes you might be so kind in the future to consider directing a
gentleman looking for answers to the correct link if you are aware of the
mistake being made.

Perhapes I might also suggest, humble as I might, that comments such as,
"Amazingly, the experts on RDC/RDP do not hang out in the Publisher
newsgroup," which provide no value what so ever to this foruem, and surely
do not aid a person who is trying to ask for help, might be replaced with my
previous request: Do you know the link to the correct Newgroup?

Thanks!
