Remote Desktop Connection, save in a RDP file on Windows OS?


When using Remote Desktop Connection, known as Microsoft Remote Desktop, it's easy to save a setting in a single file for that remote location and preference!




If you allow remote desktop connections to your PC, you can use another device to connect to your PC and get access to all your programs, files, and network resources as if you were sitting right at your desk.

But I'm not telling anything new here, if you use it often, especially on different computers it makes sense to save the settings.
