Yes, in General -> Application Start -> Startup Window State -> Minimized

Thanks for the reply.

My connection is using external mode.

My OS is Windows 8.1

I really love Remote Desktop Manager and it is one of a few "must have" apps for me.

I have a lot of my RDM sessions saved as shortcuts on my desktop.

This really saves me a lot of time. However, when I open a shortcut the RDM application also pops up on my desktop.

How can I launch a desktop shortcut and keep RDM minimized?

Also, it seems if I change the icon for an RDM session desktop shortcut it also changes the RDM icon.

For example, I have an RDM desktop shortcut that launches the application Remedy and logs me in.

If I change the icon for this desktop shortcut (to the Remedy Icon) it also changes the icon for RDM.

Can I change the desktop shortcut icon for just my shortcuts without changing the icon for RDM?

Thanks for such a great tool!

Is there any way to wait until a webpage has full loaded before executing the typing macro?

Some times a site is very slow and my keys are sent to the address bar and at other times the site may load quickly so I can't seem to find a happy medium.

I'm considering purchasing LogMeIn Ignition after evaluating the free trial.

I would love to implement that with RemoteDesktopManager.

I've been unable to find any command line parameters or arguments to begin automating Ignition.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I have the "Unable to retrieve datasource informations from DropBox" issue as well.

BTW - I love being able to keep my datasource in Dropbox! Thanks for this feature!

My apologies. I should have been more specific.

I am using the web browser session.

Here obstacles are the following:

1.) My login requires the following format -

domain\userid

password

Using the form login tab the formid, user name id, and password id were identified.

When I attempt to auto login this way the userid is populated with userid, not domain\user id and since the login button does not hve an id or name the form is not auto-submitted.

To get around this I use the following typing macro after connect.

{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{delay}$DOMAIN$\$USERNAME${tab}{delay}$PASSWORD${delay}{enter}

2.) On this same login form from time to time I am just prompted for password and not user id.

This makes the typing macro not the best choice.

I would like to build a script that checks for the presence of the userid field and if it is present it sends the domain\userid and password, otherwise it just sends the password then submits the form.

Can this be done and if so what are my options (vbscript, etc)?

I love Remote Desktop Manager and it has very quickly became one of my "must have" tools.

I use a website that is a Microsoft Exchange log in.

Sometimes the login requires username and password, but sometimes it just needs password.

What can I do to automate the login in this case?

I have upgraded to 7.6.3, deleted the desktop shortcut, then recreated the desktop shortcut and no luck.

When I double click on the desktop shortcut RDM gets focus and the session is not launched.

I can't reboot at the moment but will try that later.

which RDM version do you have? (I use 7.6.2.0)

I have tried it with an normal website and your settings, excepted the macro and it is working well.

Only thing is, when I start the connection with the desktop shortcut the autofill (username and password) is not working. When I start it with RDM opened it work fine.

7.6.1.0

I will try an update to see if that fixes it.

I have a question on creating shortcuts because I do not think I correctly understand the purpose.

I have a session entry that opens an internal website via IE (SAP) and logs in.

I have Enable web browser extension link checked as well as Open new browser session (no merge) checked.

The only other item I have different than default is in the events tab I have a macro that executes after a 3 second initial wait (it logs me in).

On the Advanced tab I clicked the Create Desktop Shortcut button and the desktop shortcut was created.

When I launch the shortcut, all the happens is the Remote desktop manager app is restored and gets focus. My session is not started.

When I launch the session from within RDM the session is opened correctly.

Am I doing something wrong?

Well after a reboot everything seems to be working fine.

I'm not sure what the issue could have been, but it had been nearly a month since the last reboot.

I'm not sure where those settings are on the Credentials.

For the credentials I am using the Username / Password option and have the name, group/folder, user name, domain, and password filled (and nothing else).

On the session under tools I have use default credentials selected. Should that be use credential repository credentials?

Embbeded still attempted to log in with the wrong password.

I've attached a screenshot to see if maybe my settings are incorrect.

I use external currently because I need the connection to be opened in a different monitor.

I'll try embedded, but I can't direct that to a different monitor, can I?

I've been using RDM for little while now and love it.

I recently encountered this issue and have not been able to find the answer.

My domain password expired and I created a new one.

I updated my password in the RDM credentials, but all of my RDP sessions still want to use my old password.

In the session I have the credential repository selected as well as the correct credentials.

That is correct.

I can RDP, etc over OpenVPN after the connect.

I will send the openVPN settings right away.

Thank you for the prompt support.

Thanks for the quick reply.

RDM version 7.1.0.0

There is nothing at all in the application log.

I repeated the process just now and created a desktop video to show what I am seeing.

You can see the video here:

First, let me say I love Remote Desktop Manager!

I have shown it to everyone I work with and consider it a very important tool.

I'm using OpenVPN and I'm able to connect, but after connecting Remote Desktop Manager is unusable and I just get the mouse pointer just spins indicating it is busy or waiting.

After waiting and waiting (I've waited up to 15 minutes) I try to close Remote Desktop Manager and I get a message that Remote Desktop Manager is not responding and I have to kill the process.

Thanks again for such a great product and I appreciate any help.
