Change number of monitors at Remote Desktop session


The connection settings are saved to a hidden RDP file in the Documents folder by default. So, you can also open this file with a text editor and directly edit the values there to set up the multi monitor remote connection. Here are the steps to do so:


  1. Navigate to the Documents folder and make sure Show hidden items is enabled.
    rdp-file-show-hidden-items
  2. Open the RDP file with a text editor, add the following line, and then save the file:
    use multimon:i:1
    use-multimon-rdp
  3. If the display order is incorrect, execute the mstsc /l command in CMD to view all the monitors on your system. They’ll be listed as 0, 1, 2, and so on.
    rdp-monitors-list-mstsc-l
  4. Next, you can adjust the values for the selectedmonitors line to rearrange the monitors in the correct order.
  5. For instance, if you have 3 monitors listed as selectedmonitors:s:0,1,2, you could edit it to selectedmonitors:s:1,2,0 to change the display order, or selectedmonitors:s:0,2 to use 2 of 3 monitors.
  6. Remember to save the settings once you figure out the correct order.

Golden rule -11

 Updates are important!

Although there are occasions when updates cause a new problem to appear, generally speaking, they “help” more than they “hurt”. Not only do updates fix known bugs in software and operating systems, but they plug critical security holes that could potentially cause harm.

Golden Rules - 10

Have Disaster Recovery plan!

DRP template

Meaning:
Always prepare for the worst-case scenario. A Disaster Recovery plan ensures your organization can recover critical systems, data, and operations quickly after an unexpected event—like hardware failure, cyberattacks, natural disasters, or human error.

Why it matters:

  1. Minimizes downtime: Reduces financial and operational impact.

  2. Protects data: Ensures backups are available and restorable.

  3. Maintains reputation: Customers and stakeholders see reliability.

  4. Regulatory compliance: Many industries require documented DR plans.

  5. Preparedness: Helps staff know exactly what to do during emergencies.

Key Components of a DR Plan:

  • Inventory: Identify critical systems, data, and applications.

  • Backup Strategy: Regular, automated backups with offsite or cloud storage.

  • Recovery Procedures: Step-by-step instructions for restoring systems.

  • Roles & Responsibilities: Assign clear tasks to team members.

  • Testing & Updates: Regularly test the plan and update it as systems change.

  • Communication Plan: Notify stakeholders and employees efficiently during an incident.

Best Practices:

  • Keep the plan simple and actionable.

  • Use redundant solutions (e.g., multiple backup locations).

  • Document Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs).

  • Include scenarios for both minor incidents and major disasters.

MailMaestro, your personal AI email assistant -great tool for people who not fluent in English

 This post for MailMaestro. I've been using it at work for about a month now, and I have to say, it's the best program I've installed in the past year. It's been amazing, especially for someone like me whose English isn't perfect and who writes a lot of letters. The quality of my emails has improved significantly.

What's even better is that I don't just use it for emails anymore. In fact, I'm typing this message right now on a new email, and once I'm done, I'll improve it with MailMaestro before posting it online. It's definitely something you should give a try!
