Answer 1

Hello there,

You can put the name of the application on the alternate shell:s: line in your .rdp file, e.g.

alternate shell:s:notepad.exe

This article discusses the connection settings that are stored in the Default.rdp file on Windows Server 2003-based and Windows XP-based computers. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-GB/troubleshoot/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-protocol-settings
