I used a freeware list below for RDP. It allows you to save your connection profile along with the credential, making it easy to RDP by just double-clicking the icon. You just need to set it once and off you go. Not sure why the need to connect indefinitely, but you may have your reasons. Good luck.<br />

Thanks. &nbsp;Changing the set time limit seems to be the solution.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I use MS Remote Desktop on Windows 7 to control my laptop. &nbsp;However, it seems that Remote Desktop has a maximum connection limit of about 99 hours and the process of pulling the laptop out of the cabinet and re-establishing the connection is becoming cumbersome. &nbsp;Does anyone know why there is this limit on Remote Desktop or how to get rid of it? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Alternatively, could someone recommend a free utility that allows unlimited connection time and control? &nbsp;I've found several on the web that look like they do the job, but they appear to be aimed at corporations and cost money.<br />

Thanks,<br />
