I work from home quite a bit, so I use my much smaller laptop screen through RDP. Sometimes the next morning when I go to work and try to use RDP again, the window wants to stay at the size of my laptop screen instead of the size of my work monitor's screen. Pressing the maximize button makes it the max size of the laptop screen, and you can't un-maximize and drag it larger.
In the My Documents folder, there is a file called Default.rdp. If you delete it, it removes the "default" settings for your resolution and you can maximize again. Hooray!

Why don't you save different rdp files with different screen settings ?
When you Double Click on these Files you load the settings you want to use. You don't have to mess up with the default.rdp
Only my 2 cents ;-)

Thanks for this tip! Very helpful :D
I couldn't delete the default.rdp because I have to log onto a terminal server before I can use a remote desktop connection to log onto my own computer.
I did manage to get a fullscreen remote desktop by using the /f parameter when starting the mstsc. So mstsc /f opens the fullscreen version.
