How to Restrict a Terminal Server User to a Single Application

Terminal Server is an application that runs on a Windows server operating system. It allows your users to remotely control the server and access applications on it. The "RemoteApp" configurations on the Terminal Server limit the applications available for users. You can limit users to one application to prevent them from changing any settings or using unauthorized applications on the remote desktop.
