I have two PCs running XP Pro and I have setup RDP between them

Whenever I launch a remote session I get told that there is a local
session that needs to be disconnected first.

Is there anyway I can leave the local session connected and still
logon remotely from the other PC.

Without hacking? Only one..
Log in as the user who is currently logged into the computer.

What type of hack would we be talking about.
So long as it doesn't violate the licence I could give it a go.
Thanks

BTW - I tried logging on as the existing user but it said there was an
account restriction preventing it.
The user is the an administrator account (and my prime id) without a
password so the PC will go into windows automatically on boot, but I went
and added the account to the remote desktop users group anyway but the
restriction is still there.

Oh, and thanks for responding so quickly to my initial query.
