|
Answer» HI to all of you who botherd to read this! I need som help. Lately I have been asked to help other people's computers (my classmate's computers to be exact, who happens to be even greater n00bs than I am), but since I dont have the liberty of walking around during class, I have to find other ways to help them. MSN messenger is altoo pointless since my mates doesn't understand crap of what I'm telling the to do, so I need an alternative way. It would be great if I could acsess my mates computers through the local network, almost like viewing their desktop in a new window or something. I've been told that you can do such thing through "CMD" or "COMMAND.COM", so I learned some commands, but I can't seem to find the right one.... can anyone please help me? I'm not sure about going through the command prompt, but I THINK there is a feature on the newer version of MSN messenger that allows you to share open programs between computers. But im not sure, so I'm going to look for yeh I have version 4.7 of MSN messenger, and there is a application sharing feature, but i dont know how helpful that will be to you. There is my 2 cents ....okay this didn't work at all..... if this is the only other option but trying to talk my mates into DEALING with their problems themselves, I might as well just do last mentioned..... But seriously! I've seen something in the direction of what I'm looking for, in real life! Some time ago, some guy from a different class opened a window on his desktop where he from which could control another PC. Please someone! I know this is possible, I just don't know what command or program I need to do this.... Anyone?.....*smacks head* yes there is something you can do in windows xp, remote desktop, you can turn it on by right clicking on my computer, clicking on properties, and clicking on the tab that says remote. see if this helps any... Remote Desktop overview With Remote Desktop on Windows XP Professional, you can have access to a Windows session that is running on your computer when you are at another computer. This MEANS, for example, that you can connect to your work computer from home and have access to all of your applications, files, and network resources as though you were in front of your computer at work. You can leave programs running at work and when you get home, you can see your desktop at work displayed on your home computer, with the same programs running. When you connect to your computer at work, Remote Desktop automatically locks that computer so no one else can access your applications and files while you are gone. When you come back to your computer at work, you can unlock it by typing CTRL+ALT+DEL. Remote Desktop also allows more than one user to have active sessions on a single computer. This means that multiple users can leave their applications running and preserve the state of their Windows session even while others are logged on. With Fast User Switching, you can easily switch from one user to another on the same computer. For example, suppose you are working at home and have logged on to the computer at your office to update an expense report. While you are working, a family member needs to use your home computer to check for an important email message. You can disconnect Remote Desktop, allow the other user to log on and check mail, and then reconnect to the computer at your office, where you see the expense report exactly as you left it. Fast User Switching works on standalone computers and computers that are members of workgroups. Remote Desktop enables a variety of scenarios, including: Working at home - Access work in progress on your office computer from home, including full access to all local and remote devices. Collaborating - Bring your desktop to a colleague's office to debug some code, update a Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation, or proofread a document. Sharing a console - Allow multiple users to maintain separate program and configuration sessions on a single computer, such as at a teller station or a sales desk. To use Remote Desktop, you need the following: A computer running Windows XP Professional ("remote" computer) with a connection to a Local Area Network or the Internet. A second computer ("home" computer) with access to the Local Area Network via network connection, modem, or Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. This computer must have Remote Desktop Connection, formerly called the Terminal Services client, installed. Appropriate user accounts and permissions. or you could goto start>run>type in mstsc and do that that will do exactaly waht you are looking for!! |
