Hello ,

Does any one know how to enable the Remote Desktop
feature on Windows XP Home Edition.

Thanks,

John
 
You can not run Remote Desktop on a XP Home box in "host" mode. One option is VNC. Get UltraVNC
(server and client) from...

http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/

It also includes an encryption plug-in if you want to use it over the public internet. VNC does not
natively encrypt the data stream so this is a potential security issue over the public internet.

Otherwise you can run VNC though a VPN tunnel to work around the encryption issue.
