Unanswered Keep GUI active when RDP is minimized or closed

    I'm currently working on a gui testing application (mouse actions and such things).
    When i run it on a remote machine, the GUI will only be active when RDP is connected AND not minimized.

    As soon as i minimize RDP, the GUI is deactivated, so my application can't do its job.

    I can't keep the RDP Window open, because that would make the whole point of using a remote machine useless.

    How can i keep the GUI active even after closing (not logging off) the RDP session ?

    Remote machine is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.

    Hiya,

    Don't run the remote session in full screen? - Also I presume your only talking when minimizing and not disconnecting? (not pressing the X in the RDP session window)

    Hi

    Not Minimizing it also interferes with my workflow, i need to have access to my full desktop.
    I don't always got a second screen, and this won't solve the problem that i want to close the connection (Pressing the X. Like i stated in the first post).

    Sometimes the tests have to run over night or over the weekend.

    Hi, thanks.

    I already tried this one, but it doesn't seem to work on my Win7 Client. The Gui still stops when i minimize it.

    But i also need them to keep running when i close the RDP (pressing the X)
