I had the issue on Windows 10 with perma asking password when I try to connect to a new machine.

BrainSlugs83 Note that it doesn't fully match rdp encryption which pads the password with zero bytes to be bytes before encryption. In particular, the result from cryptRDP5. Why is that? I also tried saving two shortcuts with two different users, but that doesn't work as the username stored in the.

I had one idea that might work, which is to create one set of credentials with the Server: HTPC and the second with Server: If that works, it's obviously only enough for two accounts but that's all need for this system, so fingers crossed. Seems crazy that the linux rdesktop can use command-line switches to send whatever username and password I like, whilst the Windows RDP Client has this limitation. I've also made a separate new XP install under which I can't get this to work.

If I tick "Always ask for credentials" it changes to Username: Lyn and when I connect it automatically enters Lyn but still requests a password as I'd expect. I imagine there's probably some service or something that's disabled in my new XP install and not in the old one that is causing this function not to work and would be grateful if anyone could advise what services, etc are required for this autologon to work, as everything else is working great but that's a bit of a deal-breaker as I'm setting up this PC just to be an RDP terminal.
