Yeah, now I don’t have to run upstairs to set up printing from my laptop when I’m not in my home office. Remote desktop is great!

It is true that if you do these things your firefox will be faster, but it will slow your animation games, like in Facebook and you can’t play well… I recommend fasterfox.

It should also be mentioned that…according to Microsoft…RDC cannot be used with XP Home Edition…

Just thought I’d throw that in…

I don’t have an option under remote desktop to allow other users to connect remotely to my computer. What can I do?

This is probably the best, simplest tutorial I have found on this subject. You write clearly and plainly. Well done.

I’d like to recommend another Remote Desktop Control Application: Proxy Pro 6. I use this at my work as security is at the forefront of everything we do. I like this service because it caters to businesses that have high security needs. Plus they have an extensive list of features.

I have a laptop computer, running Windows XP service pack 3 through a Linksys router. My System Properties window doesn’t look like yours. It doesn’t have the second half available like your picture shows. Remote Assistance is there, but the Remote Desktop part is not there. In other windows, it seems to be configured to allow Remote Desktop, but nothing spelled out specifically. Is that a problem, or am I missing something on my computer? I’m pretty sure I’ve got all my numbers correct and lined up in the right places. Thank you for what you’re doing.

Hello there. This is James from Nairobi, Kenya. This is one of the best and crystal clear tutorials I have ever read. I’ve followed everything step by step and its all worked. I’m just giving credit where it’s due. Keep up the good work.You may want to consider getting a job as a Professor in a University or some other academic institution. If all instructors were like you, the world would be better educated.

Hi, appreciate all the info you’ve presented here. I felt that I was being monitored remotely and I went through your page on how to detect that but came up empty. Then I noticed the link you had for Remote Desktop and looked it over. It occurred to me that the problem was likely a previous roommate who had physical access to my computer while living with me and now might be using Remote Desktop to screw with me. It was a simple matter to simply uncheck Remote Desktop / Remote Assistance and to block other computers from accessing remotely. Problem solved I think! (fingers crossed anyways)
