Is it possible to have a URL that launches a remote desktop session? I realize it may be considered a security vulnerability for some, but the convenience would really save me a lot of time.
I would like to have a hyperlink like: remotedesktop://example.org
where clicking on it launches mstsc.exe
with the target computer filled in (in this case with example.org
).
How best to set this up?
Answer
You could use a custom URL protocol handler, but this would mean the URLs only worked on computers where you had set this up. I think you'd also need a program to handle taking the URL as remotedesktop://example.org
and converting to /v:example.org
- although a batch file could probably do this.
