Never be prompted for a password again via RDP

Hi,

I connect a lot using RDP to my servers, each time need to remember to save the connection or retyping the password.

A small registry key would force ALL RDP connections to autologin using your current username and... wait for it... PASSWORD!!!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\fPromptForPassword
registry value should be set to 0

there is also a KB Article to do this using GPO.

Bye...
