Thanks both. I poked around in registry and didn't see any way of controlling the size but was hoping I missed something.<br />

The third party remote desktop replacement idea definitely looks like the way to go...

Using remote desktop on Windows 7 64 bit PC to connect to client Servers. While I prefer to have the remote desktop conneciton bar visible when full screen, it's size is annoyingly LARGE - it fills a large portion of the top of my screen (see example graphic).<br />
<br />
Anyone know of a way to reduce the width of the connection bar via a registry edit? It really only needs to be about 1&quot; or 1.5&quot; wide.<br />

NOTE: I know there is an option to &quot;hide&quot; the connection bar, so that it disappears after about 5 seconds upon connection and will re-appear if you hover your mouse at the top of the screen. I don't want to do that. I'd like the bar to be always visible, but be able to adjust its width. &nbsp; <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2010/11_w46/369541/ConnectionBar.jpg" target="_blank" title="ConnectionBar (16 KB)"><img alt="ConnectionBar" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 627px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2010/11_w46/369541/ConnectionBar.jpg" /></a>

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
