From Time to time I use my Wife's laptop, its not often, but, I do from time to time. Mostly what I do with a laptop, is remote desktop back into a computer either in the data center or at home. That way I have all my application configured just the way that I want them. Her laptop has a 1680x1050 wide screen resolution screen, which i suppose is fine, but, when used with remote desktop, its not one of the supported resolutions. The impact of this is that it will downsize to the nearest supported resolution, for her's its 1600x1050, but, if you switch, to windowed mode then back to full screen, it will not go into full screen. Up until now, my way around this, instead of minimizing a window full screen session, I would just kill it and restart it, which is much, much slower. You can specify a non-standard size directly in the RDP file, which is just a text configuration file. Here are the important settings desktopwidth:i:1680 desktopheight:i:1050
