Remote Desktop Connection shortcut deleted

What is the actual executable the Remote Desktop Connection shortcut points to?

mstsc?

yep %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe

FYI, "mstsc /console" will open a console connection to the remote machine which will be handled like a local session in which you can "properly" install software.

mstsc = "MicroSoft Terminal Server Client"

mstsc /v:servername will connect you directly to a specific server (/console optional)

THanks.
