    [SOLVED] Don't see a remote desktop icon
    « on: November 10, 2008, 09:30:27 PM »
    Hi,

    I can't seem to find a remote desktop icon in accesories-> communications. It's not anywhere in my start menu.

    I have used it before in the past to connect to dedicated servers, so I'm not sure what's going on.

    Does anyone have any ideas? I do have logmein ( www.logmein.com ) installed.

    Thanks for any and all help!

    God Bless

      Currently I am able to access it by going to run and running mstsc, but I would like a fix to this :[

        That's very strange.
        I don't have it in Communications either

        Except I have it in Accessories instead and it's called Remote Desktop Connection.
        I don't think you overlooked something, but I just want you to make sure.

          I checked, not there.

          The reason I was sure is I have launchy installed, which has all my shortcuts indexed - couldn't find it using that either.

          I'm not sure if this will work but you could try this:
          Go to Start and then Run and type in sfc /scannow
          Have your windows CD handy as it will ask for it.

          Remote Desktop Connection:
          %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe

            Remote Desktop Connection:
            %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe

            I was able to manually make a shortcut this way, thanks!
