RDC Menu Usage TipMS Remote Desktop Connection Beta 3 - Version: 2.13, 4/19/2008 05:55AM PST

Some of RDC Menus functionality has been broken by the update from Beta 2 to Beta 3 (remembering display settings in particular), so despite the annoyance of the "beta expired" window, you are better off sticking with Beta 2 than upgrading until there is a RDC Menu update or final MS RDC release.

RDC Menu CommentaryCouldn't access preference at all. - Version: 2.10, 9/6/2007 12:35PM PST

I wasn't able to use this version as I couldn't access the preferences window. When I select the Preferences menu option, nothing happened. The second time I select, it brings up an empty window.

Anyone else have this experience?

I LOVE RDC menu and was excited to see this new version supports RDC 2.0 beta and CORD. I'll have to still with 2.01 for now.

RDC Menu CommentaryVersion 2.10 'forgets' preferences - Version: 2.10, 8/30/2007 08:28AM PST

With version 2.10 of RDC Menu, double-clicking an entry in the list of bookmarks opens RDC but it does not fill in the login preferences stored in the bookmark into the RDC preferences (they remain blank) and it also requires to hit the connect button in the RDC window. Going back to version 2.03 things work again.
