I have a kiosk application running on Windows 7 Ultimate, I use Remote Desktop Connection to access the device for maintenance.

As soon as I connect to the kiosk it shows the Windows login screen meanwhile I see the remote desktop.

From my remote machine when I disconnect the kiosk, it still shows up the login window, I need instead display our application as no one can physically enter user/password on the kiosk.

How to do it?

There are 2 possible ways i can think of the fix this problem

After you have updated your kiosk or application, Simply restart the computer after you've finished and force windows 7 to automatically log in the the primary account using these steps.

method 1

1. Win Key + R --> control userpasswords2 OR netplwiz --> enter
2. Uncheck the box that Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer, select the User Name that will be automatically logged in, and then click Apply button.
3. In the Start Menu search line, type shell:startup, press Enter, Copy the application that needs to start up in this folder.

method 2.

try using an alternative remote desktop application that doesn't push the user to the login screen after you logout. example: logmein.com

Windows 7 isn't a terminal server. A Remote Desktop session is actually connecting you to the desktop. Only one person at a time can be logged in -- console, or remote. There's no getting around that with Win7. You'll need an actual server OS, like 2003, etc. and a terminal server license.

[update] for just remote administrator access, the default 2 admin user license works. (and it's what I've used for years.) Desktop versions don't have a terminal server admin mode.
