Force remote desktop to stay on desktop on logout

So I am trying to get into remote desktop to restart a Java application. It basically automates a few mouse clicks at specific coordinates. The problem is that once I log out of RDC, I am pretty sure the remote desktop will go to the login screen. I need it to stay "logged in". Anyone have any ideas?
 
If you connect in Console or Admin mode, you get both Disconnect and Logout instead of just Logout. Disconnect leaves your session running so you can either RDP back again from another station or log in at the physical terminal and get the same material.

Behind the hostname of whatever you're connecting to, add either " /console" or " /admin" depending on your OS and Service Pack level.
 
Nice. Now if only I could figure out how to access my router's admin panel remotely. I think I'm forwarding some random port for RDC, but I set that up over a year ago when I was running Vista. I just installed Win7 over Thanksgiving and don't think I set it up again. Heh so I'm locked out of my desktop until I get back home in a week or so.
