Odd Remote Desktop Question

I recently installed Vista Ultimate RC2 on a separate drive from XP Pro on a
machine that I remote into. Unfortunately, I don't have physical access to
this machine for a week. Even more unfortunate, I forgot to set up Remote
Desktop on the Vista OS. I *can* connect via RD to the XP partition which
is booted now. Is there any way I can go into explorer or regedit and
somehow change the setting and enable Vista RD from the XP OS?

If you have the Remote Resgistry service enabled it is possible with XP, as
I have done it before. You could search Google for more info on how to do
that, but I suspect that the required keys will be different in Vista.

You may also be hampered by Vista Firewall now, but you can at least try.
