I'd already set the "default" screen resolution to full-screen but it didn't work. I checked again that the default was correct but new connections are still not full-screen.

I then deleted all the RDP files from that folder and opened the default connection settings again as you suggest. This time it wasn't set to full-screen so I changed it and saved the settings file.

Subsequently opening a new RDP connection still does not start in full-screen.

The result is that I have to manually set the resolution every time before opening the connection.

What you've suggested regarding finding the RDP file and editing it works but it's the same as changing the screen resolution within the RDP dialog you get by clicking "Configure"

When I open a connection to the server, it creates a new computer name (not port) in the form "localhost:21398" and creates an RDP connection file for that using the default resolution of 1024x768.

If I edit the connection (before connecting) to be resolution full screen, it works but if I save the RDP connection, next time I open a connection I get a different generated computer name and a new RDP file with the default resolution of 1024x768 again!

As I've asked, how can I change the default resolution???

Hi Polina (sorry for my late reply!).

The workaround you suggest does work but each time I connect RU creates a new random number port.

There doesn't appear to be a way to set the default connection properties, so I have to go into config every time I connect; I can't click the RDP button to connect full screen.

How can I change the desktop resolution of an RDP connection?

The method for "normal" full-control connections is to set the desktop resolution once logged in but with RDP connections, that's disabled in the OS and the resolution is set when making the RDP connection which isn't available when doing it via RemoteUtilities.
