Desktop Icons and Taskbar Keep Remote User's Settings After the User Logs Off Remote Desktop

When you as a remote user log on to a remote session by using Remote Desktop, the icons and the taskbar on the remote computer still reflect your settings even after you log off and a local user logs on.

This behavior can occur because the remote session saves the desktop icons and taskbar positions in the current user profile.

To work around this issue, after a remote user logs off, the local user must resize or rearrange the desktop icons and taskbar settings to restore them to their previous positions.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
