Can't Remote Desktop to additional monitors
I have just set up a Windows 7 64-bit machine using virtual box with 4 monitors, my intentions are to use remote desktop to connect to specific monitors, however, when I use the IP address and port for the host machine to connect to and then the user name: @2\Temp, only it just connects to the primary monitor not the specified one. is there an option that I am missing?

That is the correct way of doing it. Please attach as a zip file the VM log file representing the session where you try this and the guest settings as described in Minimum information needed for assistance.

Re: Can't Remote Desktop to additional monitors
In the specific log you've given, you try to connect to the 4th screen, using @4. If I follow the log correctly, it looks like the screen index start at 0. Could you try with @3?
Also, how do you know it always connect to the first screen exactly? Have you configured the guest OS to not mirror the displays but have an extended desktop?
