The work around is to edit the default.rdp file with a text editor and set 'screen mode id:i:0'

Anyone else having this issue?

Hey Mike,

Try these 2 methods to get the Full screen work in Windows 7.

Method 1:

a.    Start "Remote Desktop Connection".

b.    Click on "Options".

c.    Click on the "Display" tab.

d.    On "Display configuration" settings, you can change the "Remote Desktop Connection" display by moving the slider from "Small to Large".

e.    By moving the "Slider" all the way to large, the display settings will automatically set to "Full Screen".

Method 2:

Use CTRL-ALT & Break to get back the screen to full screen.
