Q: How do I optimize SOAPware over an RDP Connection?
A: To optimize the speed of SOAPware over a RDP connection (i.e. Citrix Metaframe, Microsoft Terminal Service, VPN etc) you can edit the SOAPware shortcut and add an argument for turning off the background image which can render slowly.
Create the Argument
![Create the Argument](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/000/693/229/original/media_1291907431663.png)
Right-click over the SOAPware shortcut icon, and Select Properties.

In the Target Location box, type:
"C:\Program Files\SOAPware\SOAPware\ShowSplash.exe" -j SWSplash.jpg -e "soapware.exe -displayimage=n" -f xxxx - t 1
