The Risks of Running Remote Desktop. Although Windows Remote Desktop is useful, hackers can exploit it to gain control of your system to install malware or steal personal information.

Open RemoteApp and Desktop Connections in Control Panel, either by opening Control Panel, or by using Windows Search. Click Set up a new connection with RemoteApp and Desktop Connections. This will start the new connection wizard. Enter the URL of the connection. This URL will generally be of the form. .

To enable remote control and configure client settings
In the Configuration Manager console, choose Administration > Client Settings > Default Client Settings.
On the Home tab, in the Properties group, choose Properties.

Client computers are configured with these settings the next time they download client policy. To initiate policy retrieval for a single client, see How to manage clients.
Enable keyboard translation
By default, Configuration Manager transmits the key position from the viewer's location to the sharer's location. This can present a problem for keyboard configurations that differ from viewer to sharer. For example, a viewer with an English keyboard would type an 'A', but the sharer's French keyboard would provide a 'Q'. You now have the option of configuring remote control so that the character itself is transmitted from the viewer's keyboard to the sharer, and what the viewer intends to type arrives at the sharer.
To turn on keyboard translation, in Configuration Manager Remote Control, choose Action,and choose Enable keyboard translation to transmit key position.
Note
Special keys, such as ~!#@$%, will not be translated correctly.
