### Windows Remote Desktop

An easy way to connect and control a Raspberry Pi (RPi) from a Windows PC, is by using xrdp.
Information: http://www.xrdp.org
Xrdp makes use of the tightvnc server. Around 12MB disk space will be used (Status: 12-Sep-2015).
The protocol server is called xrdp sesman.
Install xrdp on the Raspberry Pi
sudo apt-get install xrdp
That's it. No additional configuration required.
Start Remotedesktop on Windows
Run from Start > Programms > Utilities > Remotedesktop
or enter command mstsc
In the remotedesktop dialog enter the RPi IP address, like 192.168.0.23.
Then in the following login dialog enter the RPi Username & Password to login, like Username Pi.
After login, the RPi LXDE Desktop is shown.
Hints
Create a Windows desktop shortcut with RPi IP-Address as parameter:
C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe /v:
Example:
C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe /v:192.168.0.23
Note RealVNC
Since Sep 2016, Raspian Jessie contains RealVNC.
Read the blog https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-pixel/
If RealVNC is used, then xrdp has to be removed as not possible to run both.
RealVNC does not support the Windows Remote Desktop, the VNV Viewer is used instead.
