You can disable it by going to the System Control Panel applet, click
on the remote tab, and unselecting Remote Assistance.

There is no Control Panel applet. I didn't find any Remote tab to unselect
Remote Assistance in. Windows XP Pro.
 
Oops! System | Remote tab... Thanks. There is no Control Panel--that threw
me. Then do you delete the Shortcut in Programs or will it disappear when I
reboot now that it is disabled?

Click to expand...

You can also use a group policy on an XP Pro box to disable Remote
Assistance. Go to "Start -> Run" and type gpedit.msc at the command line.
Next navigate to "Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration ->
Administrative Templates -> System -> Remote Assistance -> Solicited Remote
Assistance". Right click and select "Properties" then "Disabled".

When you go to the control panel applet the Remote Assistance section will
be grayed out.
