Hello,I use remote desktop connection (RDC) to connect my home computer (Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit). Because the connection is over a low bandwidth WLAN, I wanted to remove the desktop background while in RDC. I tried to change it at the Expirence tab (I chose the "Modem 28.8Kbps" option) and even by the GPO (Enforce removal of Remote Desktop wallpaper) and still the desktop baground stayed and so did the rest of the Vista effects.Any ideas about working this out? Eran

Hi, Are you using the latest RDC software? At the Experience tab, there is an option of "Allow desktop background", please uncheck it and test the issue again. Hope it helps.

I use an XP computer (updated to SP3) to reach my Vista computer.As I stated before I tried 2 things:Unchecked all the options at the Experience tab (Modem 28.8K configuration).Applied the GPO of "Enforce removal of Remote Desktop wallpaper" on the remote computer. Eran

Hi Eran, Thank you for your update. I understand that you are trying to connect to a Windows Vista computer from a Windows XP computer. Eran, please understand that the issue is more Windows XP related and this forum is focus on Windows Vista question and issue. I suggest you post the issue on Windows XP Service Pack 3 forum. Windows XP Service Pack 3 forum: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=2010&SiteID=17 The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is so you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.

No, That's ok, I already solved it.I changed the Remote Desktop Size resolution to anything smaller than Full Screen and it worked (also maintained the Modem 28.8K configuration). Eran
