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.

  • Thank you. because you have virtual win7 it will going to be easy by writing the IP address but if the other computer is in deferment place How can we do it?

  • @emadcool To access a computer in a remote network. you need to to go the router of the remote network and forward port 3389 to the computer. Then when you specify the public IP Address for the remote router, the remote router will forward the remote desktop request to the internal computer in the remote network.

  • 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.

  • @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.

  • @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?

see all
