Re: How can non-domain computers offer remote assistance?

I realize Remote Desktop is a non-shared TS session. And I realize Offer
Remote Assistance is a shared Desktop application. The question I have is
there any way to make use of Windows XP's native tools to share a desktop
with a non-administrator, non-domain account with a third party, without
using Request Remote Assistance.
