Do you use the Microsoft Terminal Services MMC Snap-in?
Are you tired of how inadequate it seems to be like I am? Do you want to be able to re-order your list of computers? Create "Groups" of computers? Define global settings for all connections? Save logins/passwords? Did you know there are alternatives available??? One of my co-workers recently turned me on to an application that is basically a "wrapper" for the MS Terminal Services MMC snap-in, much like Maxthon is a wrapper for IE. The app is called Royal TS, and it comes complete with an icon that looks like a Royal Cheeseburger (LOL!). Once you load up this app though, it's benefits are immediately apparent.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, it also doesn't prompt me to save it *every single time I exit*!!! It only prompts you to save when the list of computers has changed. Don't get me wrong, here. I was an immediate fan of the Microsoft TS MMC snap-in when it was first released. It was a huge improvement for those that needed to manage multiple servers. It would be nice if it was refreshed - perhaps it will be when Longhorn/Vista Server is released. Then again, I expect quite a few things will change in that timeframe.
