# Handling RDP connections

When deploying an installation of Remote Desktop Manager, you will be able to associate your \*.rdp file to the application, allowing you to start an \*.rdp file from your computer to be opened inside Remote Desktop Manager.

If an \*.rdp file is launched, the session will start in Remote Desktop Manager You can then create a new entry with this session by simply clicking on ***Save session as*** from the edit section of the ***Actions*** tab.
