A bit geeky, but thought it might help someone...

Remote destop is usually only available with more expensive Vista.

Here is a hack that works for those in the cheap seats, even if you have SP1

HTH

Remote desktop?

It means you can pretend you are sat in front of your computer and have full control from any PC in the world with an internet connection*



*older steam powered shite may not work

 

i see.... dont need that then

 

Probably not LOL

 

pretending you know what that means?

 

I did wonder, but I have met Maria and she's far from the stereotype dumb blonde. So, for now, she gets the benefit of the doubt

 

Steve awwwww cheers for that!

jim - mail me!

is this the kind of thing we were talking about?

 

yes, it was the "don't listen to anyone who mentions remote desktop, it wont work" email

 

ah i see!!

so, will it work then?

email me! im off to work!

 

Bet Maria plans to remote desktop into the PC at home and use the internet connection there to by pass the work filtering issue you have, good plan

Its also worth remembering that some terminal services downloads posted around the net for this 'tweak' are from earlier and unpatched versions of Windows which bring the exploit documented in security bulletin MS05-041 to Vista.

Don't see why people don't simply use a free alternative which will feature security updates such as :
