Problem
Is there a way to change the default resolution that mstsc uses? I dont want it to default to the full resolution of the client machine.

Low Risk
Sure, just slide that "Display Configuration" back a notch to whatever resolution you want. Then go back to the "General" tab and click on the "Save" button. Hey presto, new default :-) While you're at it, usually doesn't hurt to go to the Local Resources tab and uncheck Printers and review what else is shared (seriously, who ever prints over RDP?).
