Remote Desktop Idea (Windows)

[Sai]

So, I think I may have figured something out, no, not that you can control the whole computer. Most people know about that already.
However, I have seen a bunch of people trying to make it easier to get into remote desktop like in-home streaming.
What I did was made a windows Batch file that only has:

start /min

in the file.
I then converted the batch file into an exe to be used on steam (you can just google how to convert it, just use a simple online converter)
I then added a "non-steam game" which was the batch file converted into exe.
All this does is opens a command prompt but then automatically minimizes it because of the "/min" part of the file.
It works fine on Windows 7, and I've also tested it on Windows 10 (which I'm using right now)

Let me know if you guys have any other ideas.

Here is exe that works well...

It's modified https://github.com/kevinxucs/steam-remote-desktop

removed click to stream desktop full screen on start, and changed way to quit on icon in systray, instead right click > quit it's just left click = quit...

Thanks! This works pretty much flawlessly for me. Did you modify the code yourself?

that is false positive, every av will detect homebrew exes as viruses...

Hi guy, sorry but it's not working for me (i'm using the steam link, maybe it's the source of the problem),or maybe i do something wrong, i've tried de two options :

First the batch file converted in exe and added in my steam like a no-steam game, when i launching im it's start and close immédiatly.

I've replaced it by the the steam remote desktop exe, same problem, i big picture the problem start and close immediatly,

Have test this process, do you think we can launch steam home streaming like a system tray process.

Thanks :)

That exe launches icon in systray, it works for me on windows 7 host and linux client.

Hey not to steal this guys thread but seriously this method is so outdated...I have a better solution, stream a compiled Autohotkey script directly, it works better, no trace of the app at all, custom hotkey support(ending the stream,multimonitor switch, functioning alt tab from the client pc) plus i've included a few fixes for common annoyances, like say the stream starts with just a black screen, i've fixed that and a few other things...works flawless...

Nice, and no worries, you're not stealing my thread, this was just something I came up with last year some time and I'm not surprised that a better way of doing it has been found.

Thanks i got the idea from someone else to stream autohotkey, and then I just ran with it...Theres alot of potential with a scripting language that can manipulate things the way you need...

I had a cursory look at the code on GitHub, and it doesn't appear to be malicious.

However, I compiled the code myself, with Visual Studio 2015 (targeting .NET 2.0) on Windows 10, and compared it to the suspicious one.

Mine is about half the size, and the exe icon is the one provided by the developer (a radio tower), instead of a devil's face. Unsurprisingly, Metadefender (which I guess used to be MetaScan Online) finds no viruses.

TL;DR: Don't download the virus. Looks like this person is the opposite of a cyka cleaner.

Lol, it's not virus... ofc I said it's modified...

just no people...use autohotkey to do it, it's transparent, easy to learn to script and quite honestly I have a script that does probably far more than this, and can be made to suit your own needs...no visual studio coding experience needed, coding autohotkey is much simpler and in my opinion more powerful, if you know what your doing...for this particular need. If anyone would like the script just ask and i'll give you the link to my post here on steam, which i'll be updating with a pastebin link to the code(because the original was removed), also instructions are included in the post...AHK DESKTOP STREAMING, look it up. Trust me it works better than anything i've seen anyone post, and if it doesn't for you i'll help you fix it to your own needs, when I have available time...but i'll pastebin it some point tonight ok...as long as people request it.

Here's the link to the thread, completeley transparent, any questions just ask. It's been awhile since i've used it myself but everything should work, if it doesn't post problems in the AHK DESKTOP STREAMING thread and i'll fix them when I can...
