When I open Remote Desktop Connection, it reads "cannot open default.rdp". What can I do to fix this?

Hi, when I open RDP on my iMac, it reads "cannot open default.rdp" and it never saves my preferences or connections. It resets after each launch. 😟

How do I go about fixing this?

UPDATE and FIX

I went to the Finder menu, clicked on GO, held down Option (Alt) to bring up the Library.

In the Library, I browsed to Preferences, found the com.microsoft.rdp plist and deleted it. Then I emptied my Trash. If you get an error saying rdp plist is in use and cannot be deleted, quit out of RDP or reboot the machine (if quitting RDP doesn't work).

Also, there was a permissions issue. I browsed to the Applications folder, located the Microsoft Office folder, right clicked the folder (or CTRL click) and selected GET INFO. First--In order to make any changes, authenticate with admin privileges using the lock icon (put in your username and password). From there (under Sharing & Permissions), I made sure my username (account currently logged in) and everyone had Read & Write privileges, then I clicked on the little gear icon (drop-down) and selected Apply to Enclosed items.

Voila!

This worked for me.
