Remote Desktop
 

Anybody use this, is it secure?
It would really be a great help for me to remote connect to my office pc. But not being too techy Im not too sure. And the MS help website is not too forthcoming with details on how to... Or maybe there is another way I am able to install something to do this?
Cheers all.

Try https://secure.logmein.com its free, secure and with bypass all security, you just install it to the computer you want to access. Then login in online from any other pc.

You will find it easier to get up and running too.

I thought most companies had some sort of remote working system. We use Citrix at my place!

www.logmein.com I think he meant.

The health and safety man where i work remote acceses his work pc from home, when i did voluntry work with the ICT dept there he phoned up and said that he thought he had a virus as his back ground picture got changed to a picture of a mug :smt043

Sorry updated the link.

There are many different ways to do what you want, but i can assure you this will be the easiest for you, i use it extensively, as the person on the other end im helping usually isn't a geek.

Incidently, those of you stuck at work where the net locked down might find it useful too.
