Abstract: A method performs a program start-up with which a remote desktop session is set up between the client and the server. A data exchange program runs on the client, which creates a data exchange connection to a server-side data exchange program. The server-side data exchange program assigns a unique key after the set up of the data exchange connection. The client-side data exchange program determines the user who has set up a remote desktop session with the server, and transmits their username to the server-side data exchange program. The server-side data exchange program stores the usernames together with the key, wherein, if the remote desktop session exists, a program is run on the server, which transmits a program start-up to an interface, to which the username is attributed. The server-side data exchange program transmits the program start-up to the client with which there is a connection to the relevant key.
