Maximize Remote Desktop Window even if the resolutions don't match on both sides

by bhavikv 22. October 2009 14:23

Hey folks,

Many of us may be facing this problem. We are not able to maximize the Remote Desktop Window, since at our local box the resolution is very high compared to the remote machine.

Now you can maximize to full screen with help of the shortcut – Ctrl + Alt + Break when you are inside the remote desktop window.

Hope this helps :)

Windows 7, touted as the best Operating System ever from Microsoft (yes, that's us :)) is available in India from Today with the Laptop Manufacturers (OEMs).

Go Get your copy. :D

For newsmakers:

Windows 7 pre-sales have exceeded Harry Potter 7th book sales in AMAZON in UK! now beat that, which is quite impressive since Amazon's known for selling books and not software! :D
It also covered up all the pre-sales of Windows Vista in just 8 hours of its availability in pre-sales period.
Sources say it already has 1% of the World's OS market (inclusive of Beta1/RC/RTM available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers and yes few pirates).

I am on Windows 7. Are You?

System.Runtime.Interop.COMException when opening a web project in Visual Studio 2008

by bhavikv 22. October 2009 05:14

It was a funny error when I saw it yesterday morning. I dint have time to fix it and left it. The same solution was working in my other machine (Win7) and i was suspecting if it has something to do with the Visual Studio installation or that I was trying to access it from my new OS - Win Server 2008.

Well after a simple search on Bing - lo the resolution is quite simple - Just Run the Visual Studio 2008 as an Administrator :). The reason for this error is that VS2008 is not able to access the IIS metabase when UAC is turned on. I havent installed the Service Pack 1 for VS2008 which seems to give a nice little explaination for the error :D.

Hope this info helps. Thanks,
Bhavik.
