The RDP protocol got remarried in the Vista and later and has a new surname, RDC (... Control or something like that). The main difference is that you still can store the password etc, but not in the .rdp (or is it .rdc) file anymore, it's now somewhere in the paleozoic geologic layer of the registry or some other cave. They say it's a different protocol, and the two may or may not talk to each other.

You may be able to connect to a RDC server using old RDP client, but M$ pretty much promises that some things won't work. Which I also found, by trial and terror, to be true - but then I couldn't connect at all. There's a RDC client for older Windowses, find and download. I'm too old to remember where and what's its name - I think you have enough to google it out. You may lose the old one when you install the new one (ask M$ why) and so better try this from a virtual machine first.

Really, where's Ee? Or is it Eë, as in hers? Just asking...
