A little bit of research shows that one of mstsc.exe's command line options gives a default full screen setting by using "/f" and I changed all my short cuts on my desktop according to this, and they are all working fine now. So the best practice to use mstsc command line is always put the "/f" argument at the end to ensure the remote resolution is in sync with your local ones in a full screen mode.

Remote desktop resolution problem
Here is the thing, I use command line short cuts (%windir%\system32\mstsc.exe /v: ) on my desktop to connect to our multiple database server environment and for two days a week, I go to my company and have my laptop docked to a much bigger monitor at the office. So from the bigger screen, the remote session's resolution becomes (automatically) much bigger than my 12 inch laptop's but displays beautifully on the 22 inch LCD screen. But when I come back and start working from home, the RDP session's resolution somehow "remembers" its latest setting and becomes more than my small screen can handle and I have to scroll up and down, from left to right to locate the things I have to work on.
