Windows 7: enable remote desktop

How to enable remote desktop on Windows 7. Remote desktop is software that enables you to use your desktop computer when you are not near it. It is available on Windows xp pro, Server 2003, Vista Business/enterpise/ultimate, 7 Professional/enterprise/ultimate, and server 2008. If you have a home or basic version of windows, you will not have this option. It uses port 3389 and requires a login with a password to the computer.

When I'm looking at the system properties window, It only gives me to option to have remote assistance; there isn't anything below it that says remote desktop.

[technoblogical]

@adamsvette that's because you have either the "Home Premium" or "Basic" version of Windows.

@technoblogical - Mine is the same, does that mean that I will not be able to use this to access an XP desktop? I am looking to access my boyfriends mother's XP desktop when she needs help and was looking to use remote access.

[technoblogical]

@danielle1323 You will be able to access a XP Pro desktop no problem. No one can access your desktop. If you are trying to access an XP Home or MCE desktop, it won't work either. I have a video on UltraVNC and ShowMyPC that would be better. When you do remote desktop, it actually locks the other person out of the computer. Can't help to learn if she can't see.

@JakobSkull It's my private IP Address. Not a big deal. Besides, even if you knew my public IP Address, I'm not too worried. Most of my ports are closed, and I'm not really worth anything if you hacked me.

is not more easy to use teamviewer?

@rasmasyean Your router is only going to forward port 3389 to one computer. You need to use a different port for each machine. You can change the default port number for each machine. Then forward the new port numbers to the new machines. (Or run a much more complex home network.) Here is a video on how to change your RDP port. youtube dot com/watch?v=JEdgZuhRIck

@technoblogical Can you Remote Desktop to more than one computer behind your router?

[rasmasyean]

How do you make it so multiple accounts can log in at the same time and use the computer with their own desktop?
