pretty easy to do, just create a simple shell script
open applications->accessories->text editor
put this code in
replace that IP with the IP or hostname of the windows box, replace 1024x768 with the resolution you want to run, and replace yourname with the username you will login withCode:#!/bin/bash rdesktop 192.168.0.100 -g 1024x768 -u yourname
save the file as say ~/Desktop/windowsbox.sh
then open a terminal window applications->accessories->terminal and type
then you should be able to just double click it and have it openCode:chmod +x ~/Desktop/windowsbox.sh
