How to make shortcut of remote desktop including password?

i want to open remote desktop directly from shortcut. I want to embed password within shortcut.

And how to get path of remote desktop from .RDP shortcut.

Can we set password in .RDP shortcut.

  • When saving the RDP file, check off the Save my password checkbox. This will save your password to the .RDP file in an encrypted format. Be careful though, as people have found out how to decrypt it:

    grawity : This is not a problem anymore with MSTSC v6 - the credentials are stored elsewhere on the system (Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials), and as far as I know, they are encrypted with the user's login password.

    John T : @Jitendra the file stores the password in an encrypted format, it's not as simple as opening it and typing `password:abc123`. If you can find a tool to encrypt them into that format then you can, but I doubt somebody would bother making such a tool.
