s l o w remote desktop

problem: 5-6 sec delay when rdp'ing into domain clients, even on 256 colour setting. big, branded bitmap rendering during logon before user settings kick in and remove background image.

what im not doing: being unreasonable... i mean its normally just in and out, and depending on isp, can take up to a few minutes.


easy reg fix! the key is:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper

and the value (string) just a path to a local file. Unbranded machines value is (none).
