RDP autostart, startup, assign application...

I want to autostart 2 seperate RDP sessions after booting win7 or during firsttime access on 2 seperate Dexpot desktops.
I must overlook the obvious solution because i just can't get it to work.
Win7 keeps telling me there is no program associated with the .rdp but there is.
When i run the .rdp manually it runs fine.
Never had any problems with it in XP pro so what am i missing here?

:dex:

Is this in regard to "Configure Desktops > Start-up"? Try opening the connection explicitly using a command like this:

Code: Select all

mstsc.exe "C:\Path\To\File.rdp"

Thank you Patrick for the suggestion but that wasn't the problem.

You originally mentioned something about "default.rdp" and the problem being resolved. Is this the case or are you still looking for a solution?

Thanks for asking.
Initially removing the Default.rdp seemed to be the solution.
Then it didn't and i indeed removed that "solution" from my post.
But, after changing nothing new, it now works
So i don't need feedback anymore.
Don't really know if removing the Default.rdp was the solution though.

Anyway, removing it is a good startingpoint it seems.
