RDP client different

[Red Squirrel]

This is something I've always wondered since I work in this particular office. The RDP client seems different then it is anywhere else. Here are a few differences that I've noticed:

1) The icon for it is different, it is a monitor, instead of the usual satellite dish

2) It does not go in full screen, with the yellow bar that comes on top, it goes in a window

3) When connecting to a server for the first time, it prompts.

This is the only environment I've ever seen RDP act like this. Everywhere else it's the normal one. This is a windows XP environment.

Anyone ever see this before, and know how to make it normal? It took me this long to realize, but I miss full screen RDP!

Probably updated to RDP 6.0. You should be able to enable full screen in the display options.

This.
I like the new one well enough, but personally I use RoyalTS for 95% of my RDP tasks.

Hmmm could be, odd that I've only seen it here, and this place is about as old as XP itself when it comes to patching. We're not allowed to patch. Guess the RDP may have been patched at one point. I found the option to go full screen. Just need to enable it on the .rdp files invidividually.
