RD Tabs

RD Tabs by Avian Waves is one of those applications that I have to download before I can even thing about using my work computer to accomplish anything resembling work.

On the surface, RD Tabs is a remote desktop application that gives you a tabbed interface for multiple remote desktop windows.  When you have to have multiple remote machines up on your desktop simultaneously, this thing is a godsend.

The application is also packed with other handy goodness for presenting remote windows.  You can have your window dynamically sized based on the application window.  You can use global settings so that every connection by default will disable audio for example.  Settings can also be managed on an individual connection basis.  There is also the ability to save connections as favorites, as well as a handy drop down of your most recently accessed remote desktops.

RD Tabs also supports the newer versions of the RDP protocol found in Vista and server 2k8. The application was created by a Windows administrator to handle daily admin tasks.  You can grab a copy (or read more) over at http://www.avianwaves.com under the tech section.  You can also check out the other applications (I’ll do a writeup on XS BAP in the future) as well as original music written and performed by the developer.
