On my OS (XP Professional), the remote desktop client is mstsc.exe, and I always want my remote desktop connections fullscreen. Now it is clever enough to re-use the last session display size, and in most use cases that probably works fine.
My problem is that sometimes I work on my laptop directly, and other times through a docking station. When I switch between them I always find that the remote desktop client has changed the last display size from 'Full screen' to whatever the resolution was in the previous setup - which I have found very annoying!
Today I found my answer. I have the shortcut to this tool in my start menu, and the exe takes a /f switch to indicate fullscreen. So all I needed to do was to change my shortcut to "%SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe /f".
Voila! Whenever I use the shortcut it always defaults to fullscreen! Just the way I like it.
