    It's not even necessary to have a saved session for that. putty.exe user@host -p 42 and similar options can be used.

From the Putty FAQ:




To run a PuTTY session saved under the name ‘mysession’, create a Windows shortcut that invokes PuTTY with a command line like pathnametoputty.exe -load "mysession"




---EDIT---



In Windows 7, the shortcut has to be in quotes like this:



"pathnametoputty.exe" -load "mysession"

I had referred to Putty Connection Manager as a useful addon, giving one click connects and tabbed windows, but it seems the app is dead and all the files removed from the hosting site.



While checking into this, I found a fork of the project, called superputty (see below) and a reference to KiTTY - a Win32 native version of PuTTY with extra features so here you go:



Superputty: http://code.google.com/p/superputty/



KiTTY: http://kitty.9bis.com/

PuttyTray is an alternative where you get sessions in the Windows quickjump list if you pin it to the taskbar. Mine is pinned at position 9, so I type Win+Alt+9 to show list of sessions and arrow key to select, then enter to launch.



It also has a bunch of other nice to have features.

    In windows use this target for putty shortcut for save username and password and also load a saved session:
    "C:Program FilesPuTTYputty.exe" -load "your_saved_session" "username@your_server_address" -pw "your_password"




    1. right click on putty shortcut

    2. fill out "target" field of shortcut using above code (alter to your own properties).

    3. click save button.


    After that when you click on PuTTy shortcut it loads your session automatically using given username and password.

    • Putting passwords in shortcut isn't a good idea. Type the password in putty window manually.

    I had referred to Putty Connection Manager as a useful addon, giving one click connects and tabbed windows, but it seems the app is dead and all the files removed from the hosting site.



    While checking into this, I found a fork of the project, called superputty (see below) and a reference to KiTTY - a Win32 native version of PuTTY with extra features so here you go:

            AnyDesk - Fatal Program Failure

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite Good day all. I have a window that pops up saying Fatal Program Failure (AnyDesk). This is what I have done so far: Uninstalled AnyDesk and reinstalled it. ( The window still appeared ) I disabled AnyDesk start up in Msconfig and the window seems to have disapeared. Lastly I made sure that AnyDesk worked by remoting into it, and it worked.

            How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range.

I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
