Save several RDP usernames on 1 Windows 7 PC
I have a Windows 7 PC with several RDP shortcuts to servers/pc's. But when Ichange the username of one rdp shortcut, all the shortcuts are getting the same username and this is not correct.
With Windows XP this worked fine, but now I have to fill-in the username and password.

lruiz52 -> I did try that but this does not work, it did with Windows XP no problem there. Now with Windows 7 it does not work.
McKnife -> The servers have different IP adresses, thats not the problem.
I have 2 RDP shortcuts on my desktop with the correct IP adresses. When I change the user name of RDP shortcut 1 the username allso changes from RDP schortcut 2. And that not what I want to happen.

You did not understand my comment. The problem you face can be solved that way. Try the following and you will agree: For one user, use the name as rdp target, for the second user, use the IP. Now you have two independent credential sets that can be saved.
It's a different problem here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938120 but the solution is the same.
Also, please see the problem cause confirmed here, it's the newest RDP client: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951609 "You cannot save multiple credentials for the same remote computer when you use the RDP client that is included in Windows XP Service Pack 3 " <- xp sp3 had the same problem :)

I had the option "save user references" turned on. This caused the problem.
When this option is turned on, the user references will change for all the RDP shortcuts. Perhaps a bug within Windows 7?
After disableling this option, I did enter the username again and saved the rdp file. Now it works fine.
Thanks for the help!

What option are you talking about, where does one select/deselect it, please?

The Save user references option
Where is that option found? I am not familiar with that one.
User A would connect to servernamehereA, B to servernamehereB. Each credential set would be saved separately that way.
