Must be paired with the separate RDP Wrapper Library application, no license or Windows terms-of-use guidance is given.
This repository contains a configuration file called rdpwrap.ini, which is used by a tool called RDP Wrapper Library. RDP stands for Remote Desktop Protocol, a system built into Windows that lets you control a computer remotely over a network. On consumer versions of Windows (such as Windows 10 or Windows 11 Home and Pro), Microsoft limits remote desktop to one user at a time. RDP Wrapper is a third-party tool that works around this limitation to allow multiple simultaneous remote desktop sessions without modifying Windows system files directly. The rdpwrap.ini file is the part that tells the wrapper tool where to find specific instructions inside Windows system files so it can apply its changes. Because Windows updates can shift these locations with every patch, the configuration file needs to be updated after major Windows updates to keep working. This repository exists specifically to maintain a version of that configuration file that stays current with new Windows builds. The contributor maintains this file by adding support for new Windows version numbers shortly after each update is released. The changelog in the README is a long list of dates and Windows build numbers, showing that updates have been added regularly since around 2019, often within days of a new Windows patch being released. The repository also links to a modified version of the RDP Wrapper application itself and has a Discord community for discussion. The README is short and the repository contains primarily the .ini configuration file rather than any traditional source code. There is no license statement in the README, and the file's exact legal status in relation to Windows terms of use is not addressed.
A regularly updated configuration file that keeps the RDP Wrapper Library working on new Windows builds, enabling multiple simultaneous remote desktop sessions.
Setup difficulty is rated moderate, with roughly 30min to a first successful run.
Mainly general.
