How Do You Use A Remote Desktop Connection From Vista To Windows XP?
The Windows Remote Desktop Connection tool is a utility used on Windows XP and Vista that allows you to remotely connect from one computer to another over a local network or through the internet. This is useful for when you need to monitor or control your remote computer without being physically close to it. Go to your Windows XP computer and right-click on the “My Computer” icon. Select the “Remote” tab, check the “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer” check box and then click the “OK” button. Go to your Vista computer, click on the “Start” button, click on “All Programs,” click on “Accessories” and then click on “Remote Desktop Connection.” Type in the IP address or local network name for the XP computer in the Remote Desktop Connection window and then click the “Connect” button. Enter in the username and password for the XP computer and click the “OK” button. Click “Yes” to the popup that appears and then you will be able to remotely control your XP computer.
