Enabling Multiple Remote Desktop Sessions in Windows XP Professional and Media Center Edition 2005 If you have ever used a real remote computer system like Citrix, then you have probably been craving multiple Remote Desktop sessions since you first fired up Windows XP Professional and/or Media Center Edition. Here is a HACK (translated: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK), to enable multiple Remote Desktop sessions on your XP Pro or MCE 2005 box: NOTE: You will have to have knowledge of the Windows operating system and more specifically the Windows Registry. If you have no experience with the registry, then I would recommend you find someone who does or leave these alone. I do not make any kind of warranty that this will work for you or your friends. This is provided for entertainment purposes only. Don’t call me if your computer stops working. Got it? 1. Print these directions so that you have them to work from. 2. Restart your computer in Safe Mode 3. Turn off/disable Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) and Terminal Services 1. Right click My Computer 2. Select Properties 3. Click on the Remote tab at the top of the window 4. UNCHECK the box next to, “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer“ 5. Click OK 6. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services 7. Find Terminal Services in the list 8. Right click on Terminal Services and click Properties 9. In the Startup Type box, select Disabled 10. Click OK to close the window # Next you will replace the current version of the Terminal Services DLL (termsrv.dll) with an unrestricted version from a previous release of Terminal Services. 1. Here is a copy of the Terminal Services DLL - Save it to your Desktop or other suitable location 2. Using a file manager like Windows Explorer open C:\Windows \system32\dllcache 3. Rename the file termsrv.dll to termsrv_dll.bak or whatever you would like. 4. Copy the downloaded termsrv.dll file (the one you just downloaded from the web) to C:\Windows\system32\dllcache 5. Open the C:\Windows\system32 folder 6. Delete the file termsrv.dll in C:\Windows\system32 # Now we can edit the Windows Registry to enable more than one RDP connection. Go to Start -> Run and type regedit - Hopefully you knew that already # Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Licensing Core # Add a DWORD Key named EnableConcurrentSessions and give it a value of 1 # Close the Registry Editor window # Go to Start -> Run and type gpedit.msc to run the Group Policy Editor # Browse to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services and double click Limit number of connections # Select the Enabled button and enter the number of connections you would like to enable….at least 2. # Restart Windows # Right click My Computer and select Properties. # Click on the Remote tab at the top of the window # CHECK the box next to, “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer“ # Click OK # Go to Start -> Control Panel ->Administrative Tools -> Services. Select Terminal Services from the list and double click it or right-click -> Properties. Set the Startup Type to Manual. # # Restart Windows/Computer You should be good to go. |
Here's a great tip to speed up your browsing of Windows XP machines. Its actually a fix to a bug installed as default in Windows 2000 that scans shared files for Scheduled Tasks. And it turns out that you can experience a delay as long as 30 seconds when you try to view shared files across a network because Windows 2000 is using the extra time to search the remote computer for any Scheduled Tasks. Note that though the fix is originally intended for only those affected, Windows 2000 users will experience that the actual browsing speed of both the Internet & Windows Explorers improve significantly after applying it since it doesn't search for Scheduled Tasks anymore. Here's how :
Open up the Registry and go to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace Under that branch, select the key : {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} and delete it. This is key that instructs Windows to search for Scheduled Tasks. If you like you may want to export the exact branch so that you can restore the key if necessary. This fix is so effective that it doesn't require a reboot and you can almost immediately determine yourself how much it speeds up your browsing processes.
is very important to defragment your disk drives, this will reduce seek time and improve overall speed.System configuration Utility.
Go to: Start--> all programs--> accessories--> system tools--> Disk defragmenter
