Remote desktop problem

Hi,
I am trying to run a script in my remote desktop, which works fine if I view the remote desktop from my computer. But If I minimize or close this window the script no longer works.

However I need to run this independently from remote desktop. What all should I consider to make this run perfectly.

Thanks

Is the script on your remote computer and you are making a remote connection somehow? Ot is the script on your computer trying to do things on a remote connection window? What type of remote connection are you making?

The script is in my remote computer . This runs well, if I make a connection to the remote computer and view the actions in my home computer. But as soon as I minimize the window or closes the connections then the script does not work well, though some functions are done ok.
Thanks

Why do UI macros fail when I disconnect or minimize the Remote Desktop/Terminal Services session?

"When you minimize a Remote Desktop session the session is locked - just like when you lock a regular Windows session. The user's desktop is no longer the active desktop."

Rather than minimizing the window, try resizing it really small and/or moving it to a portion of the screen out of view.

Or switch to a different remote technology like UltraVNC where you are viewing and interacting with the active session on the remote PC rather than operating in your own session.
