Hi, I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 connecting to Server 2008 x64 (NOT R2) via the terminal client, MSTSC "Remote Desktop". When I first connect, my connection shows as fullscreen (as per my settings) with the connection bar (the "flap" at the top that has the minimize, retore and close buttons on it).

Here's my problem... if I hit the "restore down" button, the RD window shrinks down and I can resize it etc like any normal window. But now if I hit "maximize", instead of going fullscreen again (like in Vista's version) it maximizes the RD window, but leaves the title bar in place. So now my RD window has scrollbars because the titlebar and other bits of "chrome" around the window have shrunk the viewable area, but my remote desktop remains at the same resolution.

Basically, I just want to know - once you have resized a Windows 7 remote desktop winow, how do you get it to go into fullscreen again, so there's no title bar etc. in the way, just the remote desktop you want to work on.

Thanks much,
Richard
