if you want to install remote desktop in windows 2000 just download it to microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdclientdl.mspx). I install it on my windows 2000 pro and it works fine. I tried a lot of remote control software but remote desktop is the fastest in windows.

I tried what you suggested, but could not find the *.*.mui files in the en-us subdirectory. In fact, the laptop from which I copied the mstc.exe and mstscax.dll did not have an en-us subdirectory and did not have the *.mui files.

But Remote Desktop worked without them. I remote desktopped to another computer.

I think that for many users, remote access software could be used for more than just windows. The best products are those that support multiple platforms, such as Proxy Pro 6, LogMeIn and PCAnywhere, etc.

I wonder why you’d want to take a portable version of mstsc with you when it’s built in on every windows OS since windows 2000 ? And for those rare occasions where you need it on Windows 9x or NT, you can download a client for those too from MS. And your portable mstsc isn’t going to work on Linux or Mac either, there are native clients for those OSses too though…

“What portable remote control program(s) do you use?”

MSTSC for sure, but I’ve found lately that having a free Logmein account or using Teamviewer have proved to be priceless (no pun intended). I realize it’s a bit off topic to mention them, but if the environment allows the use of these tools, I would highly recommend them.

…Obviously probably not for corporate LAN use

Also, I like mRemote for management.

That would be good. Some of the info I have come across seems to be outdated as M$ blocked a previous hack. It would be good to clarify the info.

Thanks again.

You need four files in total: mstc.exe, mstscax.dll, mstc.exe.mui, and mstscax.dll.mui. mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll are in C:\WINDOWS\system32 and the others in the local directory (C:\WINDOWS\system32\en-us if you’re in the US with an English installation).

It is possible to do and there is info out there on how to do it. Perhaps I’ll write up a post on it.

Two of them, mstc.exe and mstscax.dll are located in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory.

maybe mstsc.exe ?
