Is it possible to change the position of the Remote Desktop Connection client bar?

Solution 1:

It is now possible to remove it all together. In the Remote Desktop Connection windows, under the Display tab, uncheck the "Display the connection bar when I use the full screen."

Solution 2:

If you can't see the bar - You can get out of Remote desktop ..and go back to local computer using Ctrl + Alt + Break

Solution 3:

If you hover to the left of the pin, you will get a cursor which shows you that you can resize the bar. And if you click on your computer's name, you can drag it left or right. That allows me to put it just left of the minimize button on full screen windows.

If only Microsoft would give us a way of remembering where we put it and saving that for our next session.

Solution 4:

No

But you can have it minimise if you click the pin icon, to see it again bring your mouse up to the top of the screen.

Here is a list of all the options you have for a remote desktop connection, they all seem to focus on visual output coming from the remote machine, and security nothing about the client bar.

Solution 5:

Unfortunately not. For info, there is a complete list of the available customisations here:

As microsoft's links have a habit of going dead, the page title is:
