Secure remote desktop webconnection

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hello,

I have a microsoft windows xp pro box running.
Installed IIS with remote desktop webconnection.
Installed a server certificate and issued a client certificate which
is required to connect to the website with the remote desktop
connection panel.

Secure and handy... NOT ... My computer listens on port 43292
(something like that) for the RDP connection, so i have to leave that
port open, this means --> anyone can get my login console by using a
regular RDP connection client (instead of web rdp)

NOT secure at all...

Any ideas if i can disable this, so that in order to connect to the
computer via RDP, you HAVE to go to the website and authenticate using
the cert etc... ?

Thanks in advance :)
