Description

FWIW I'm hoping for more-or-less a wrapper around regular Windows Remote Desktop that's just more productive, so I don't have to go through the multiple clicks to connect, also requiring using a third-party WoL tool when the computer is off. Something like being able to make a shortcut with a command line would be ideal, or a systray app that pulls up a menu (nice for monitoring but more clicks and less flexible than a shortcut would be.) Probably a clever script could do all this without the centralized systray part.

The tab view is nice but when I go into full-screen it doesn't expand to the monitor's resolution, so it's not helpful. I hope this input is useful, feel free to Close it.

Done would require an agreed scope and acceptance criteria for the selected workflow.
