I honestly don't know how to change it or how it chooses in what mode to run in, but I log into my work desktop (an XP machine) all the time using krdc from home and I get my desktop just as I left it. Connecting to Windows 2003 servers, however, creates a new session separate from any console session that is running (though you can leave that session running and reconnect to it later). Probably has something to do with the sort of stripped down Terminal Services that comes with 2003. Alternatively, remote desktop (on XP) can work in the "remote assistance" mode, in which you connect to a system and both you and the person sitting at the system can see what is going on (when I connect to my work computer remotely in its current mode, it locks the desktop if it isn't already locked, so a passerby can't see what I'm doing). "Remote assistance" is very much like how VNC works (the free VNC, that is. You can pay for versions that work in a more "terminal services" sort of way, I believe.)
