About RdpSwitcher
RdpSwitcher is a lightweight Windows tray utility that lets you switch between fullscreen Remote Desktop (mstsc) sessions and the host desktop by double-pressing the Pause key. Install the app on both host and remote: the host instance switches RDP windows and enables an RDC Dynamic Virtual Channel (DVC) add-in for new mstsc connections; the remote instance detects Pause x2 and signals the host over the RDPSWCH DVC. Communication is via a native mstsc plug-in (RdpSwitcher.Plugin.dll) and a local named pipe (RdpSwitcher.Signal), avoiding file-based signalling and drive redirection. The tool also writes a per-user RDC AddIn registry key and verifies per-user COM registration for the plugin.
