Thanks:-)

I know that mstsc is also capable of connecting to a remote desktop.
However, we need to specify other arguments, like disk mapping, in
command line, which cannot be achieved through mstsc. So we intend to
use rdesktop.

Can I make the rdesktop to full screen? Until now, I can only open the
remote desktop in a window. Thanks:-)
