XP Remote Desktop System usage instructions

WinXP is such a good thing! Whether it's home communications or traveling, Windows XP will help you with your work in your location, and it will make it easy for you to connect to your office from home or other locations and change your settings depending on your location and what you want to do, This is the Remote Desktop feature of WinXP. Listen to me in detail below.

Using Remote Desktop on Windows XP Professional, you can use another computer to access a Windows session that is running on your own computer. This means that you can connect to your working computer from home and access all of your applications, files, and network resources, as if you were sitting in front of your work computer. You can have the program run on the working computer, and then when you get home, you can see the desktop of the working computer that is running the program on your home computer. When you are connected to a working computer, Remote Desktop automatically locks the computer so that no one else can access the application and files while you are away. After you return to the working computer, you can press Ctrl+alt+del to unlock it.

Remote Desktop also allows multiple users to have active sessions on a single computer. This means that multiple users can keep their applications running and keep their Windows session state, even when others log on.

With Fast User Switching, you can easily switch from one user to another on the same computer. For example, suppose you work from home and you have logged on to the office computer to update your expense report. At the same time as you work, family members need to use the home computer to check for important emails. You can disconnect Remote Desktop, allow other users to log in and check messages, and then reconnect to the office computer, when you see the expense report will be exactly the same as just now? quot Fast User Switching "works alone on a computer that is a member of a workgroup.

Remote Desktop can be used to implement a variety of usage scenarios, including:

Work from home-access to ongoing work on the office computer at home, including full access to all local and remote devices.

Collaborate-Lets your colleagues see your desktop from the office to debug some code, update Microsoft Power point slides, or proofread documents.

Shared console-allows multiple users to maintain separate programs and configuration sessions on a single computer, such as for a cashier desk or a sales desk.
