Enable Remote Desktop Connection on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1

If youΓÇÖre one of the lucky people who purchased a computer with Windows 7 Home Premium on it, you might be surprised to know that it doesnΓÇÖt support remote desktop connections out of the box. Microsoft wants you to upgrade your edition of Windows in order to get this feature. Luckily, thereΓÇÖs a little hack we can use to get it working on Home Premium. HereΓÇÖs the steps to get it working:

Download THIS TORRENT and extract it to a location on your PC.

Navigate to the folder you just extracted and right click Install.cmd, then choose Run as administrator.

You can also enable multiple sessions per user, and the logging in of users with a blank password (although I wouldnΓÇÖt recommend this). There are some switches that are available when running the program:

-? ΓÇô Show this help

help ΓÇô Same as -?

multi ΓÇô Enable multiple sessions per user

blank ΓÇô Enable remote log on for user accounts that are not password protected

So for example, if you wanted to enable multiple sessions per user:

Go to start and find Command Prompt. Right click it and select Run as administrator.

At the prompt type cd ΓÇ£c:DIRECTORYTOEXTRACTEDFILESΓÇ¥

The prompt should switch to c:DIRECTORYTOEXTRACTEDFILES >

Type: Install multi

Thanks to the guys over at Missing Remote for this hack.

Clipboard Sharing

When I installed this hack, one thing I noticed was that the clipboard sharing wasn’t working when I first connected. What I had to do to remedy it was open up the task manager on the remote machine, end the ‘rdpclip.exe’ process and restart it – either through Start > Run… or in the task manager by going to File > New Task (Run…).

You could automate this process by creating a simple batch script if youΓÇÖd like, similar to the one below:

taskkill /IM rdpclip.exe /F

rdpclip.exe

Copy and paste the above into notepad and save it as killrdpclip.bat (or whatever youΓÇÖd like). Then all you need to do is double click the batch file and you should be good to go.
