Remote Desktop Utility allows you to access your computer from anywhere in the world, as long as you have internet connection. Windows XP has such a utility, and now you can access the awesome power provided by it.
Steps
- Remote Desktop must be enabled on all the computers to which you wish to connect. To ensure that it is enabled, follow these steps:
- Right click the My Computer icon on your desktop or start menu and click properties.
- Click the Remote tab at the top of the system properties window and check the box next to "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer."
- After you have completed these steps, you are ready to connect to another computer. Before you start, make sure both computers are turned on and connected to your Local Area Network (LAN). It also helps if you both have configured the same workgroup as your default, if you are not on a domain configuration. Most home networks are not on a domain.
- On the computer you will be connecting from, click Start then select Run and in the new box that appears, type "mstsc" then press ENTER. OR Go to START, select ALL PROGRAMS, Select ACCESSORIES, select COMMUNICATIONS, then click REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION.
- Type the name of the computer you wish to connect to in the connection window.
- Log in using the username and password supplied by the computer owner. You can not sign into a Limited Account using Remote Desktop.
