Remote Desktop Connection

Well so far I am pretty pleased with the build I got of Windows 7 (7127) but I just found a bug which is pretty serious, especially when you work a lot with RDC...

To replicate the bug, you need to share your drives when connecting remotely to another computer.

If you try to copy any file from your local drive to the remote PC, your file will be DELETED without warning and you'll get an error that the file could not be found.

Luckily I had a copy of the file I was trying to send to the remote PC... I also tried send a file from the remote PC to my local drive and in that case, the file shows as getting copied but it never actually reaches your local drive...

So I am pretty sure the drive sharing feature in RDC is completely broken.

I sent a bug report to Microsoft already so I hope they'll take quick action regarding this...
