Remote Desktop Connection
saves your connection preferences to a default connection file. To save time when you connect, you can save additional computer names and connection preferences for each Windows-based computer that you connect to. For example, you can choose to share all Mac disks when you connect to one Windows-based computer, and only a single Mac folder when you connect to a different Windows-based computer. You can also save different connection files for the same Windows-based computer.
Do any of the following:
 | Create a connection file |
-
On the RDC menu, click Preferences.
 | Note You are not required to type user information in the Login pane to continue setting preferences. |
-
Select the connection preferences that you want for this connection, such as screen size, automatic login information, and security options.
-
On the File menu, click Save As.
-
Type a file name for the connection file, and then click Save.
When you establish a connection, the options that you selected become the default preferences for all Remote Desktop connections.
 | Tip To quickly connect to a Windows-based computer, double-click the connection file, or drag the file onto the Remote Desktop Connection
icon. Connection files are saved in
Documents/RDC Connections. |
| Change a connection file |
-
In Remote Desktop Connection, on the File menu, click Edit a Connection.

When you establish a connection, the options that you selected become the default preferences for all Remote Desktop connections.
| Tip You can also change connection preferences while in a session. On the RDC menu, click Preferences, and then make the changes that you want. Changes take effect the next time that you connect. |
