Hi Plague,
Can you try the new version ?

For the bug with "start | run"?! It's a normal behavior, the default path if it's installed in program files, it's %userprofile%\local settings\ but if it's installed anywhere else, it's the current directory. So if I read write, you have two installation of Remote Desktop Manager 5.6 and each one of them use it's own config file?

Any idea when this version will be out of beta? RDM is a mission-critical app for me, and I'm a bit nervous about running a beta build.

Very soon, I have one or two bug to fix and that it. I think that the next beta release will be the RC. All the other features will have to wait.
