Remote desktop client: how to enlarge history list?

Anyone knows the setting (in registry perhaps) to enlarge the history list of the remote desktop client?

Thanks!

Solution 1:

The history list size is capped at 10 entries. The history items are stored in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default] as entries MRU0 through MRU9. Creating an MRU10 entry will not create an 11th history entry.

Solution 2:

If you're a heavy user of Remote Desktop, you might check whether Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager works best for you.

I don't know if it has a longer history, but it lets you easily define a large list (or lists) of servers to connect to. It's also handy to keep many sessions open at the same time.

Solution 3:

A workaround would be to pin the app to the taskbar then change the jumplist settings to something higher than 10.

Solution 4:

All signs indicate that the history length isn't a configurable setting. Here's a link to a listing of all the possible registry keys that the RDP client checks as it starts, which would include the history length setting if it existed.
