From Microsoft:

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).


Locate the following key in the registry:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
On the Edit menu, click Modify , click Decimal , type the new port number, and then click OK .


Quit Registry Editor.


NOTE : When you try to connect to this computer by using the Remote Desktop connection, you must type the new port.
