By default RDC starts a new session on the computer you're trying to take control of.
This can be undesirable (specially when you'd like to see what is running right now, or want to prevent that an application gets started more than once, or a session remains open).
By accessing as an admin, RDC will not start a new session.
From the commandline (cmd):
mstsc.exe /v:servername /admin
To make a shortcut; right click desktop, new -> Shortcut, and enter this string:
%windir%system32mstsc.exe /v:servername /admin
