Re: Remote Assistance

You point about XP not containing RD Server, was well understood, but it was
my impression that the client could run using the Windows Messenger server.

Thanks again for your enlightenment!

Thank you for taking the time to help! However, I am aware of the
differences in the two and my operating system is Windows XP Home
Edition Service Pack II and it does include Remote Desktop that
allows a user to access thier computer from another location.

Every computer manufacturer sets up Windows XP differently to meet
the the computer they are installing it and the Windows programs
and/or files may or may not be preinstalled from the computers
manufacturer. In that case the manufacturer places a folder in the
computers help menu called Aplication Recovery, there you can
install the addtional features of XP that were not included in the
intial manufacturers setup. ie. Remote Desktop, Windows Backup
Utility etc., these parts of Windows can be found in the
Application Recovery Console under Restore Applications.
If someone would be kind enough to explain the original question
posed in this thread it would be of great appreciation!~

Scroll down to Remote Desktop.

Windows XP Home Edition does NOT contain it.
Windows XP Professional Edition does.
