How Do You Create Remote Desktop Access?
If you want to connect from one computer to another over a local network or over the Internet, you can do so by using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) software. Setting up a computer to accept RDP connections is extremely easy, whether you use Windows XP, Vista or 7. Log in to your computer, right-click on the “My Computer” icon and select “Properties.” If you are using Vista/7, click “Start” and then right-click on “Computer” and select “Properties.” Select the “Remote” tab in XP or select the “Remote Settings” link in Windows Vista/7. Check the option marked “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer” and then click the “OK” button. For Vista/7 you will need to select the “Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop” and then click the “OK” button. The computer is now set up to allow Remote Desktop access from other computers.
