copy and paste files when remote desktop'ing

something i’ve wanted for a long time, not sure if this is new with the Vista version of RDP (6.0) but it’s very easy to setup:

- click ‘Options >>’ button after you run Remote Desktop

- go to the ‘Local Resources’ tab and click ‘More…’ button

- check one of your drives

two things will happen: you’ll see the drive you picked listed as a drive on the remote computer’s list of drives, and you’ll be able to copy files to the clipboard on the remote computer and paste them locally--
