    Hi Folks. I have two laptops. One running Vista Ultimate and the other running Windows 7 Ultimate. The Vista is attached to a TV as its screen is not working and is working as a media player. I can remote access the Vista from the 7 but when I disconnect it locks the screen. I have been searching for a way to stop this and have found that if I write a batch file and put it in the windows folder it should stop the Vista from locking. The file itself is pretty simple and only contains one line:

    @%windir%\System32\tscon.exe 0/dest:console
    @pause

    I added the pause myself as I couldnt see what the command was doing. That was when I found it was giving an error message saying:

    Invalid sessionID 0/dest:console

    Can anyone help with what I am doing wrong.
    Many thanks.

    The code is a little wrong, use this instead and create a desktop shortcut and you will now use to "end" your remote connection.

    %windir%\System32\tscon.exe RDP-Tcp#0 /dest:console

    "A couple of things to remember. If you find it not working, check the user session that you are using on the RDP. Open Task Manager and check the users tab. See the session tab at the right? That number, in this case it’s 0, corresponds to the number in the command. RDP-Tcp#0"

    Thank you. Could not figure out why the box stayed open on the host machine and then realised I forgot to take out the pause and now all is good. Thanks a million:):).
