Sorry, I thought you were focusing on multi-monitor support.
But, I do tend to stick with mstsc.exe, and generally, copy and paste does work.

I see your copy+paste not working and rise it to copy+paste working across users.
I copy something in my session and you can paste it in your session.
That was RDC to a Windows Server 2012... really funny

I use Multiplicity from Stardock, but it only works with windows. It works either by extending your desktop, or as a regular remote desktop connection (very fast compared to mstsc).

I can recommend mRemoteNG which is a multi-protocol, multi-tab remote client for RDP, SSH, VNC etc.
The current release is quite old, but there are some betas about - results may vary.
Development appears to be in transition, but it works so well that a few quirks are acceptable (e.g. latest beta requires a click in the window to set focus when changing tabs on SSH connections).
Choosing Redirects is easy and includes the clipboard (works perfectly in the same tab, between tabs and between host and client).

Totally off the topic at hand (my apologies). I just had to reply after seeing this tagline. It took me back to my high school days when I was doing exactly the same thing. Toggle switches, RIM loader, BIN loader, yay!

My guess is that there are several IT departments where I work scrambling to find a replacement.
I can already hear a director asking, "Is there any way we can get a copy of the codebase to maintain our own internal version of ICQ?"

By the way, the phrase "can we get a copy of the codebase to maintain our own version" should be heard as "now is a good time to update your resume"

Last time someone tried this, it was for MS Money. With no luck, unfortunately -> How to bin dump an excellent piece of software ... 
|
|
|
|
|
At least MS Money still works. Well, I've never used any of its online features, that is, so all offline functionality is still there and runs fine.
|
|
|
|
|
Sure. But I miss some modern features - like the filtersearch in comboboxes - and a few things I would have loved to implement. I actually see no point in keeping a source code sealed when it is not maintained anymore. I once started to reverse engineer, but that would be soooooo time consuming !

Sometimes there are components that have been licensed that, themselves, are owned by third parties that are still very much under active development, and the licensing terms are such that it's an all-or-nothing type of deal.
Then there may by IP that they feel should be kept private.
Or there's a shared component that's re-used somewhere in another product that's still under support, and releasing the source would make it trivial to expose common vulnerabilities to anyone looking. Obviously security through obscurity should not be a thing, but the reality is, making the source public just lowers the bar.
I'm with you, there's plenty of abandoned closed source software I'd like to revive, even if only for my own use...but I just don't see that happening.
MS-DOS 4.x only got its source published a few weeks ago, and that was done, so they claim, "primarily for its historical importance". Don't get your hopes up for MS Money...
I've never used it myself, but HomeBank is free and has its source code available (I don't know however if it's open source according to the common terms), and claims to be able to open MS Money files. Depending on your goals, maybe you could take inspiration from that, even if only for the data import part...

MS Money still installs and works, even on Windows 11 v23H2.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes...I jumped into this thread to point that out.
|
|
|
|
|
Just as an aside. If you are still using MS Money there is a replacement Free Personal Finance Manager. | KMyMoney[^] . I think the two products are nearly identical.
I used to use it some time back and it looks like it is still supported. There used to be a conversion utility with it to import your MS Money database.

While I appreciate the suggestion, if I wanted to move to something else, I would've done that a long time ago already.
I have it running in a Windows 7 VM. It'll be a while still before that becomes unsupported with no workaround...

At least with MS Money, Microsoft made a free non-connected version available. The only problem is there is one version of Windows 10 where it didn't work, but someone with really good binary debugging skills figured out the issue and published the solution - on a Microsoft support site.

Another small rant, two-for-one.
1) Debugging console applications with parameters is painful.
I need to test against all the possible combinations of arguments, can't do it properly though, need to pass through the debug options... which are persistent.
And the console does not stay open (yes the checkbox is unchecked, also ignored by VS).
And the breakpoint after the parsing moves the focus to the VS window hiding the Command prompt.
Every test is a clickity-clickity-typety-clickity-clickity-clickity-clickity-clak.
![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) you Microsoft.
2) Structures in watch window do not stay expanded.
Add other clickity-clickity-claks to a simple test.
Basically the best way to test this behavior is inserting test code and debug prints, as we used to do when we had to chisel bits one by one onto EEPROMS with tiny hammers and a lot of patience.
Told you it was a rant.

Sounds like a situation where unit tests would work well.

They wouldn't.

In this particular case it takes the same amount of code to visually inspect the relevant data structures + the test code + the validation code + the debug of the unit test.
Considering that the user interface will not have any upgrade (it is to be inserted in an automated tool) the overhead is way too much for the scope of the project - I did terminate the whole software less than 2 hours after ranting.
My gripe was not with the process I was using but by the fact that debugging a console application should naturally allow an easy way to pass arguments to said application. Also IT has to justify their paychecks so they the group policies weekly, this week they messed up a the VS developer console (we don't use VS in house, we develop for ARM microcontrollers and our legit tools are uVision and Understand).
