Remote desktop connection without locking the remote computer

Is it possible to connect via Remote Desktop Connection to a windows 7 machine without locking the remote computer (I want to use the same logged in user)? Or is it possible to release the lock after the remote desktop session is closed?

If you need to unlock the remote computer after closing the Remote Desktop Connection, here’s a trick which you can use to force RDP to disconnect without locking the session and logged local user back in on the local console screen upon disconnection of Remote Desktop Connection.

On the remote system connected through RDC (not on your computer which RDC is initialized to connect to remote system), open a Command Prompt window as administrator, then run the command depending on the Windows operating system that is running on the remote system.

On Windows XP:

tscon 0 /dest:console

On Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 or newer:

tscon 1 /dest:console

On Windows Server:

tscon %sessionname% /dest:console

No Locking Local Console when Using Remote Desktop Connection"

"run cmd on remote computer, then run this command query session you will see something like this

SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE
services 0 Disc
>console SIRS 1 Active
rdp-tcp 65537 Listen

then run this command tscon x /dest:console where x is your active session ID, which 1 in my case."

Honestly, I would just use RealVNC, I feel its the best remote desktop tool out there. Its very fast, dont get any of the lag with UltraVNC. RealVNC is also excellent when remoting in your computer from outside your house.
