I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium on a new laptop and I'm having one of the most annoying issues with the RDP client (mstsc.exe). If I restore the full screen RDP window, I lose the ability to go back to full screen. The only way I can get it back is by running a new instance of mstsc, setting the option back to full screen, and connecting again.
I don't have this problem on any other machine (granted, this is the only copy of Home Premium I have). Is this a known issue? Is there a patch/fix? It's pretty obnoxious, I'm having to train myself to not use the restore button and only minimize it (which limits uses).

That's weird, it works fine for me here (Windows 7 Ult. 32-bit).
Ctrl+Alt+Pause should toggle the RDP client in and out of full-screen as well. Does that work for you?
It's also possible for the server-side to have a maximum allowable resolution set. Although I would expect that wouldn't allow the full-screen in the first place, it may be worth looking into.
Perhaps test with another RDP server, if available?
