 This is about 1/4 of the way down the list).  Don't know why Microsoft own ActiveX controls isn't marked for safe yet?
You also have to go to Manage Addons... to enable the Active X addon "Microsoft RDP Client Control" or
Microsoft Terminal Server Control.  Once it's been downloaded.  You may have to select show "Add-ons the have been used by internet Explorer" to see it.

RDP no connect with nVidia

You can fix this bug by increasing the size of the session image space via a registry key.  Add the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

"SessionImageSize"=dword:00000020

0x20 == 32 MB works on my system anyway.

or just try using a BETA driver if newest driver wont work

RDP/Terminal Services Printers not showing up

– add
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default\AddIns\RDPDR]
"FilterQueueType"=dword:ffffffff
