Can you remote desktop between two computers with XP Home or does it
require XP Pro? Seems as though I should be able to, but all
documentation I ever see refers to Pro.

Anyone?????

XP Home does not support being controlled by Remote Desktop: so you cannot
make RD calls to an XP Home PC.

Both XP Home and XP Pro contain the Remote Desktop client.

The XP Home RD client is used to access/control XP Pro desktops running Remote Desktop in
'host' mode or to access W2003/2000 Servers running Terminal Servers...
