Option 1 - Modifying termsrv.dll
- Windows 10 Desktop.ini Viewstate Problems
- Windows 10 Desktop.ini Viewstate Update
- Windows 10 Desktop.ini Viewstate Mac
I'd like a vbs file that when it runs it creates a new desktop.ini, or to modify an existing desktop.ini by placing the directory where it's located, then desktop.ini will contain for example:.ShellClassInfo IconResource=C: Users win 10 Desktop folder1 folder.ico,0 IconFile=folder.ico IconIndex=0 Logo=folder.ico ViewState FolderType=Pictures. Windows 10 Desktop.ini icons removal super easy. A Desktop.ini file is a file that determines the way a folder is displayed by Windows. Don't worry desktop.i.
- Insert InfoTip= between.ShellClassInfo and ViewState. Save and close the file. Restart the Windows Explorer. During my trial, it took about 30sec to reflect the comments. In the meanwhile, on the top left corner of Windows Explorer, click the Organize dropdown box and click the Folder and search options.
- In older versions of ASP.NET, there was an option to “EnableViewStateMac” that would allow you to configure whether ViewState was protected against tampering with a Message Authentication Code (MAC – true setting). As a secondary configuration option, ViewState was encrypted if the “ViewStateEncryptionMode” was set to true.
- The file is typically set as both a hidden and system file. Most people start to notice the desktop.ini file after globally setting their system to show hidden system files and folders. Often it is most noticeable on the desktop. By resetting this setting to hide these files, the desktop.ini files will no longer be visible.
To have concurrent user sessions working in Windows 10, you need to make small changes to termsrv.dll file. This file is located in C:WindowsSystem32 folder. Before modifying termsrv.dllfor the first time, you need to take ownership and assign yourself full permissions. You also need to stop Remote Desktop service (TermService) if it's running.
DLL files can be modified using any HEX Editor (for example Tiny Hexer). You can do this yourself by replacing strings shown below, or just download patched versions from this page.

Option 2 - RDP Wrapper
Instead of modifying termsrv.dll file you can use RDP Wrapper which acts as a middleman between Terminal Services and Service Control Manager. This way you don't need to touch termsrv.dll file. Actually, if you already modified your termsrv.dll file, you need to revert to the original version before using this method.

Download and extract RDPWrap-v1.6.1.zip (or newer), then run install.bat as admin. After installation is completed, run RDPConfig.exe. If all items under Diagnostics are green, you should be good to go.
If 'Listener state' is 'Listening [not supported]', you will need to update the wrapper's configuration (.ini) file.
With the latest version of RDP Wrapper you no longer need to update rdpwrap.ini manually. Simply run update.bat and everything will be done automatically.
If update.bat doesn't add support to your Windows version, try checking Open Issues on RDP Wrapper GitHub page. You may find how to manually update rdpwrap.ini until official support is added.
