Hi,

For the 1st question resolution:
==========================
Please follow either of these methods.

Method 1:
========

Remote Desktop enables a variety of scenarios, including:

1. Working at home - Access work in progress on your office computer from
home, including full access to all local and remote devices.
2. Collaborating - Bring your desktop to a colleague's office to debug some
code, update a Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation, or proofread a
document.
3. Sharing a console - Allow multiple users to maintain separate program
and configuration sessions on a single computer, such as at a teller
station or a sales desk.

To use Remote Desktop, you need the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A computer running Windows XP Professional ("remote" computer) with a
connection to a Local Area Network or the Internet.
A second computer ("home" computer) with access to the Local Area Network
via network connection, modem, or Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.
This computer must have Remote Desktop Connection, formerly called the
Terminal Services client, installed.
Appropriate user accounts and permissions.

Steps:
======
1. Start -> Control Panel - > System
2. Select Remote tab
3. In the "Remote Desktop" section
4. Select the check box next to "Allow users to connect remotely to this
computer"
5. Click the "Select Remote Users" button
6. In the Remote Desktop Users dialog box, click "Add" button
7. Type in the user name and click "OK" to close for all the windows.

Once you are set. Go to the remote computer

1. Click Start ->All programs -> Accessories->Communication
2. Then select Remote Desktop Connection. Then type in the computer name.
3. Click on the "options" and select the domain as the computers workgroup
4. Login

OR


Method 2:
=========
You could connect to the remote computer by using Remote Decktop Web
Connection.

To connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Web Connection

To enable Remote Desktop Web Connection ( For Windows XP Professional)
1. Start -> Control Panel - > Add or Remove Programs
2. Click on Add/Remove Windows Components
3. Select "Internet Information Services" and click on the "Details" button
4. Selct "World Wide Web Services" and click on the "Details" button
5. Check "Remote Desktop Web Connection" and click "OK" button

Ensure that Remote Desktop Web Connection is installed and running on the
Web server. For more information, see Setting up Remote Desktop Web
Connection. Ensure that your client computer has an active network
connection and that the WINS server service (or other name resolution
method) is functioning. On your client computer, start Microsoft Internet
Explorer. In the Address box, type the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for
the home directory of the Web server hosting Remote Desktop Web Connection.

The URL is "http://" followed by the Windows Networking name of your
server, followed by the path of the directory containing the Remote Desktop
Web Connection files (default = /Tsweb/). (Note the forward slash marks.)
For example, if your Web server is registered with the WINS server as
"Admin1", in the Address box you type: http://admin1/tsweb/, and then press
ENTER. The Remote Desktop Web Connection page appears on the screen.

In Server, type the name of the remote computer to which you want to
connect. Optionally, specify the screen size and logon information for
your connection.
Click Connect.

Notes
=====
Remote Desktop Web Connection requires Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher.

For the 2nd Question resolution:
===========================
1. Start -> Control Panel
2. Click on Administrative Tools
3. Click on Services
4. Double click on the service you would like to assign to the
Administrative user.
5. Select the Log On tab
6. Select "This account" and select the account by clicking on the "Browse"
button. Then type in the user name
7. Enter the password in the Password and Confirm Password box.

The above procedure ensures that the service starts on Administrative user.


Hope this helps .... )
