By Donkz, on December 25th, 2012 Hi all,
I’ve been really busy at work lately, so it’s been a while since the last version was released. But I just wanted to let you know this project is not dead yet. In fact, a new version is in the works!
Coming up for the new release are for example: Language localization, support for writing session information to the event log, a shutdown button when running RDP+ as the shell, and launching and managing favorites from the main GUI.
So stay tuned and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everybody!
By Donkz, on October 18th, 2012 Hi everybody,
I’ve noticed a lot of visitors and downloaders access this site through Google Translate. One of the things I’ve been thinking about for a/the next version was adding support for other languages than just English, and those visits only strengthen this idea. This will mean some rewriting however, so first I want to know if there’s any demand for it at all. So please let me know if you’re interested in running RDP+ in your own language. And if you’re willing to help translate all the dialogs and messages and if so, for what language. The Dutch version I can do myself.
Regards,
Donkz
By Donkz, on August 15th, 2012 This is a major update, with lots of changes and code rewrites. If you find any problems, please report them.
Change log:
- Added a system tray icon for managing and launching favorites, and quickly switching to already active Remote Desktop sessions. It also has an option to set the tray icon to be loaded automatically when you start your computer.
- Added the option /tray and keyboard shortcut CTRL+T for launching the system tray icon.
- Added a favorites manager and a profile manager.
- You can now use \% in the /o parameter for literal %-signs.
- Fixed an issue with duplicate .rdp files when starting multiple sessions (near) simultaneously.
- You can now add .rdp file style options seperately in the command file (@file) without preceding them with /o. This also allows you to use the command file as a kind of master/template .rdp file.
- Enhanced the /t option to allow a timeout value for connecting to the remote computer. This can be useful for slow responding computers. For example, /t:8 will make RDP+ try to connect to the computer for 8 seconds before timing out.
- Added /tray and /t to the options which can be set through the RDP environment variable.
- When using a startup program (/start), and no working directory is set in the .rdp file or through /o:”shell working directory:s:xxxx”, RDP+ will now by default try to set the working directory for that program to the program’s location.
- Many other minor changes and improvements.

By Donkz, on July 3rd, 2012 Change log:
- Added the option /hash. This will cause Gencrypt to show the password in the .rdp file hash format instead of the default encrypted format. You could use this to generate your own .rdp file.
C:\>gencrypt /p:P@sswordExample! /hash
password 51:b:01000000D08C9DDF0115D1118C7A00C04FC297EB010000008900A24423398E4EA9EE2994EDDAD7CB0000000002000000000

By Donkz, on June 10th, 2012 Change log:
- Fixed an issue with autologin not working when using RemoteApps through slow responding RD Gateways.
- Added support for the use of commas within separate /o options. Commas can be used by preceding them with a backslash. For example: /o:”remoteapplicationcmdline:s:proddb\, sqlsa\, P@ssw0rd, remoteapplicationname:s:Production Database”.
- When using RemoteApps, RDP+ will now by default enable multi-monitor support, just like Windows 2008 does when creating a .rdp file in the RemoteApp Manager.
- Some other minor improvements and tweaks.
The new version can be downloaded here.
By Donkz, on May 29th, 2012 Just a quick fix, nothing special…
Change log:
- Fixed a bug with using double quotes in the command line options file for the connection file.
- Fixed a bug with RDP+ not appearing in the taskbar (until it got focused again) when switching to another program before the GUI was displayed.
- Some other minor improvements and tweaks.
The new version can be downloaded here.
By Donkz, on May 18th, 2012 Change log:
- Fixed a critical bug with the encrypted passwords (/pe). If you have downloaded version 3.12.1 and used it with passwords encrypted through a previous version of RDP+ or Gencrypt, I strongly urge you to change the password of the user you used and to generate a new encrypted password using RDP+ 3.12.2 or Gencrypt 1.3!
- Some other minor improvements and tweaks.
The new version can be downloaded here.
By Donkz, on May 6th, 2012 Change log:
- Added support for extended ASCII and Unicode characters in the passwords that you encrypt.
The new version can be downloaded here.
By Donkz, on May 6th, 2012 Change log:
- You can now use percentages for the /fit, /w and /h switches. A setting of /fit:95%, would result in a session window 95% of the working size of the local screen.
- The screen size which the /fit would result into, is now shown in the GUI.
- Added the option /domain, which enables you to specify a default domain to be used for the user. This is only used when a domain name has not been included in the username.
- Fixed a bug with drive redirection when the drive label contained extended ASCII or Unicode characters.
- Added support for extended ASCII and Unicode characters in both the usernames and in the passwords that you encrypt. This means you can now use usernames like Hüßelmann or Администратор. Gencrypt has also been updated to support the processing of Unicode passwords.
- Added support for environment variables in the username, so you can do things like /u:%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%.
- Added the available shortcut keys to the help screen.
- Several other minor improvements and tweaks.
