Hi Mike

Well, indeed,  I didn't read the entire thread ...
;-)

Well, escaping the space with a back slash might do the trick too....

However, I'm not sure if you can run a program after XP login as you can 
with Terminal Server ...
... and policies might block the execution of scripts/applications on 
the Server ...

So, Jean-Renaud, please verify and/or confirm (if not already done) that 
the expected behaviour is achieved with mstsc and then repeat the 
exactly same with freerdp (and escape \ and space and whatever or try to 
start something located in C:\temp)

Again, just some thoughts ...

Have a relaxing evening

Beat
