Improving Remote Desktop speed on Vista/Win7

A fellow kept complaining that his Remote Desktop (mstsc) connection to the office is super slow. I told him that I had the same problem since I moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 & he found the following solution:

Run the following command line:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
to undo it:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

For full details check this post. It's not optimal, but it works & I didn't notice any problem since.

Disconnecting users from terminal services

I'm using terminal service at my home computer, and sometimes I forget an open connection from my laptop. Since I have only 2 administration connection I get 'too many connections error.

I found this post which explains how to disconnect someone remotely from terminal services:
* qwinsta /server:12.12.12.12
List connections.
* rwinsta /server:12.12.12.12 3
Disconnect session (3)
