Remote Desktop is
disabled by default in Windows 7 or Vista, but it’s
easy enough to turn it back on.
If you need to access your Vista PC from another
box, it’s an essential thing to turn on.
Important note:
Remote desktop is only included in the Professional,
Business, or Ultimate versions of Windows.
Home editions do not have remote desktop.
To
get to the configuration page, you can either
right-click the Computer icon and choose properties,
or you can type in
system
into the start menu search box, and then find the
entry for System.
Now you’ll want to click
the Remote Settings link on the left hand side:
Now you can finally turn
it on:
To connect from another
Vista / Win7 PC on the same network, click the
bottom radio button.
If you need to connect from an XP/2k machine, click
the “Allow connections from computers running any
version of Remote Desktop��� radio button.
Don’t worry about setting
up firewall rules, Vista or Windows 7 does that for
you automatically.
Note: This should work
for both Windows 7 and Vista.
