Remote desktop shortcut for shadow/console session

The microsoft KB article suggests a way to connect to the console session http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278845. So even if you are disconnected or you want to connect to the active physical desktop session, then you can do so by specifying '/console' option to mstsc. Unfortunately there is no check box or any other way from mstsc GUI to specify to connect to a console session. A simple workaround is to change/create a shortcut for mstsc by adding '/console' as arguments to mstsc.exe in the 'Target' field.
