# Setting up the remote context

In order to run an automation with the Remote Desktop minimized, follow these steps:

Note: These steps must be done on the machine that runs the Remote Desktop, not the Remote Desktop itself.

Note: All instances of Remote Desktop must be closed.

1\) In the Windows search bar, type "run"(or Windows Key + R) and the following window should pop up:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/qExcTIAVPUkiAi0WR5Ey" alt=""><figcaption><p>Run box</p></figcaption></figure></div>

In it, type "regedit" and press Ok.

2\) In the Registry Editor's search bar, type: "Computer\HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client" and press Enter.
