Post subject: Return console screen when disconnecting from RDP
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>work_remotely (more info?)

I have a remote XP Pro workstation that is to be used non-interactivelly as a
"reader board". I need to log on remotely, open a program, then disconnect
without leaving the screen locked as is usual with RDP. That is, I want the
screen I see before logging off to appear locally when I log off. I don't
know if any way to do this over RDP. Is there a way to do this, or can
someone suggest a third-party product that will allow me to do this?

Autologon and reboot with a startup item of whatever that program is?

Is this "user" you are remotely connected as already logged in?
If so - you can 'push' the console session back to the 0 (in front of)
session.

command line:

tscon 0 /dest:console

Perfect. Thank you. I had thought of the reboot/auto-logon, but your other
option is what I was looking for, and it works perfectly. Typically, I would
be the one to log on (remotely) to configure the settings & start the
program, then disconnect this way to leave the PC running.
