If you use remote desktop to work on your network probably you have noticed that when working remotely local files and directories on your computer are not accessible on your terminal server session, and you end up e-mailing files you are working on the remote server to your local computer. that is a painstaking task, do you think? luckily Remote desktop has an easy solution for this.
When you open Remote Desktop by going to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Remote Desktop:
Click on Options, then click on Local Resources click on More tab, and then choose drives:
Click on Ok. then click on Connect. Once on your terminal server session, click on your “My Computer” icon, and the local disk drives on your computer should show up on your terminal server session:
If you don’t have access to My Computer icon, then click on Start and then click on Run and type \\tsclient\C that is if your directory you want to access on your computer is on the C drive, otherwise substitute C for your system specific letter.
Many thanks for this – I had trawled through many other forums and websites trying to find out why a remote desktop on a client’s server would not let me see my local drives – which had worked fine when I had Vista Ultimate on my PC. After upgrading my PC to Win 7 I could no longer see my local drives on the remote desktop. The above simple instructions fixed my problem – thanks again, NeilR
