How to adjust the size of a Remote Desktop Connection Window

We often use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) for connecting to Development/Test/UAT Servers for various activities like Development, Testing, Deployments etc. People also refer to this in short as RDC/RDP/TS (Terminal Services Connection) etc.Today I was approached by one of my colleagues who wanted to adjust the window size of the Remote Desktop Connection. At first even I did not know how to adjust the window size, but after spending a couple minutes I got it working :-)

Here is how we can connect to remote desktops/servers and also can adjust the window size of Remote Desktop Connections. 

• Click on Start -> Run
• Type "mstsc" and click "OK". This will open the Remote Desktop Connection dialog box.

• Click on "Options>>" in the right bottom corner of this dialog box.

• Click on the "Display" tab.

• In the Display tab adjust the pointer towards "Less" to reduce the size of the RDC window and towards "More" to increase the size of the RDC window. Keeping it at "More" will create open a Full Screen window so that the user can exclusively work in the remote desktop/server and can navigate between the windows in the RDC connection using "ALT + TAB".
• Click on "Connect" and enter the credentials and hit Enter to connect to the remote desktop/server.

Now enjoy a dedicated Full Screen Window/Console for your Remote Desktop Connection.
