Somehow the icon for Remote Desktop was lost on a machine and I had to find the location of the RD client executable:
%SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe
Where SystemRoot is usually "C:\Windows\"
(I think someone had dragged the RD icon onto their personal Desktop.)

The syntax to get to the local drives shared to the RDP server is: \\tsclient\c
Remote Desktop to the console login (Windows 2003): mstsc /v:192.168.1.1 /F /console

You can specify console in a .rdp file too, add: connect to console:i:1

Clipboard
Tends to break after a while (on some machines more than others). I suspect interference w/other clipboard tools makes it more common.
Sometimes kill rdpclip.exe and run it again (it's in default path).
