You will be in front of your PC to allow the other party to take control.
You will see everything they do. At any time you can hit the <Esc> key or
click the "Stop Control" button. If you have super sensitive data on your
machine, you can always hide the folder. Right click--Properites--check
hidden . You must also have the "Show hidden files and folders" unchecked in
Folder Options--View Tab window.
 
will the other party be able to access anything like system files and system
configurations?
 
Hi
I think I messed up some files during a virus check procedure. Does anybody
know if I can find a program that checks the correct working of XP? I've
lost the use of Task Manager and the laptop is slow.
Thks for help
