In our office we have a spare machine that we use as a simple server for backing up files and acting as a fax machine etc. There’s no monitor on the machine, so we use Windows Remote Desktop to access and control the machine.

One of the annoying things about Remote Desktop is trying to copy a file to the remote machine. A simple task you might say, but something that is not set as default when using Remote Desktop.

So for those of you that don’t already know, here’s how you enable it:

1. Open Remote Desktop
2. Choose the remote computer from the list
3. Then choose Options
4. Choose Local Resources Tab
5. Under Local Devices and Resources, Choose more (vista only)
6. Select checkbox beside drives

That’s it!
