Hi Guys!

I'm trying to find the Remote Desktop client in Windows 7, but I can't find it anywhere!

Need some help!

Perfect!

Why so hidden?!?

Do you know how it would normally have been found?

There is a link in the Start menue. But I can only thell you the German path ;)

It should be under "accessories" but I'm not shure if my translation is correct.

Neil, which version of windows7 did you install? My understand was that RDP was only available in Pro and Ultimate.

I have Home Premium. I knew about the hosting limitation, but there is nothing that should prevent the client side.

The direct link worked - I'm just surprised finding the client through traditional methods is near impossible to do.

Or on the start menu just try typing "remote" and it should pop up.
