I just thought others may find this useful when helping someone setup Remote Desktop.
It's a small batch file that will allow the user to adjust the settings for the firewall (SP2 enabled machines only!), System Properties (Remote Desktop tab is there), and then the actual Remote Desktop client (what you use to connect to the other "host" for a Remote Desktop session.
You can open this batch file with pretty much any text editor. Tweak it to your needs, wants.
Tip: To startup the Remote Desktop Connection dialog. You can also click the START button, click on the RUN (prompt), clear the input dialog there and type in mstsc.exe, then click the ENTER key or OK button.
Here's the file (.zip'ed .bat file):
