Hi Guys, I hope you will not think me to crazy, but here is the setup.

The company I work for has gotten pretty severe about what you can and cannot do on their computers. Since I travel alot for the company and I have other hobby/obligations that require the use of a pc I went out and purchased a Sony UX180P Micro PC and loaded it with everything I needed for my personal life. (Great pc btw).

When in the hotel room I setup a RDP from my company laptop (client) to the sony (host) so that I can work on a full size keyboard and screen. when I connect the Sony (Host) screen shows the standard RDP Host mode screen. After some time the screensaver that Sony provided with the PC kicks in and the screensaver includes sound (a very annoying diddy). I could turn the volume down (if I remember) but I like to listen to my music on my sony at the same time. I have the screen savers disabled on my login in the OS itself, but it still comes on in RDP Host mode. Your help in killing this feature would be appreciated.
 
Thanks linney, I will give this a try and report back. I am in the process of picking everything up and moving for a 6 month project so it may take a week or two.

Thanks so much. Worked like a charm. I later went back and turned it back on because just above it was the key to specificy which screensaver to run and I run the stars screen saver. Nice and quiet and like my own little star trek bridge.
