Show/Hide Status Bar
Click system menu and uncheck "Status Bar" to gain bigger workspace.
Quick Connect
Right click on window title to choose a server to connect or type the server address.
What is "Reconnect in Full Screen mode"?
A: You can press CTRL+ALT+BREAK to switch to Full Scree mode. But the screen
resolution won't change. This is a limit of RDP protocol. Click the menu
item "Reconnect in Full Screen mode" will disconnect first, then set
resolution to full screen and reconnect. It's temporary and won't change
your settings.
What's "Insert a copy"?
A: "Insert a copy" will use current selected server as a template when you
want to add another server with the same settings.
Why password doesn't work when use it on
another computer?
A: The key is stored separately in registry instead of MultiDesk.xml. So if
you use MultiDesk on flash disk, your password won't leak if it was lost or
get stolen. To use it on another computer, export key from
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MultiDesk to a registry file and import it on
another computer.
How to enable single instance?
A: Use notepad to open the configuration file MultiDesk.xml, then add the
red line to "Settings" section. It's case senstive.
<Settings>
<SingleInstance>1</SingleInstance>
