How do I get User Friendly Names in Remote Desktop?

I'm pinching @Hello71's idea here, but you can edit your hosts file in Windows to add a reference to a friendly name, for a given IP address.

Open the following file in Windows Notepad or your favourite text editor (notice there is no file extension):

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

In that file, you'll want to add a row at the bottom for your friendly name (the # is a comment parser and is ignored by the OS:

# Friendly name example
192.168.1.1        friendlyname

In this example, the IP address is your remote connection, and friendlyname is your chosen name. Once you save this file (in Windows XP, you would have had to refresh with nbtstat -R (or restart)), all networking related activities on your machine will work with that friendly name.

When you configure the RDP, there is an options button on the bottom left side. Hit it, finish all your configuration and choose Save As and name it whatever you want.
