Create shortcuts in Windows

Create shortcuts to the oneclick™ access window and the RDP file to start your remote connection faster. Optionally, you can assign your shortcut a custom oneclick™ icon.

Desktop with shortcuts to the oneclick™ access window and RDP file


1. Access window​

Drag and drop the tile of the oneclick™ access window from the oneclick™ desk to your local desktop. This creates a shortcut that allows you to open the access window directly.

2. RDP file​

After downloading the RDP file via the oneclick™ access window:

  1. Open the Downloads folder. There you’ll find the downloaded RDP file.
  2. Right-click on the file and select: Send to > Desktop (create shortcut).
    Context menu with option "Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)"
Do not edit the RDP file

You can reuse the RDP file for additional connections. Start the app in oneclick™ before each connection. This opens the oneclick™ access window and renews the connection time. The login data is valid for another five minutes. Open the existing RDP file from your shortcut within these five minutes.
Use the downloaded RDP file without making any changes. If you change signed settings and save the changes, the digital signature becomes invalid.


Download the RDP file again

If Windows reports that the RDP file is damaged, or if Connect is grayed out and cannot be clicked, download the RDP file again via oneclick™. For additional steps, see RDP access error.


3. oneclick™ icon for the access window (optional)​

You can replace the shortcut icon with the oneclick™ icon.

  1. Download the ZIP file with the icon and unzip it.
