Innately - Windows XP Professional (or supersets) only allow for one
concurrent connection - period, local and/or remote. At one time (BETA2 of
SP2) it was under consideration to change this. There are still
instructions out on the web on how to change a file or two and *hack* your
version of Windows XP to allow for this.

You are free to try this - but it is *not* supported by Microsoft (or anyone
really) in any way. The hack would allow you to log into the computer with
passworded accounts just like normal remote desktop - but you could still be
logged on locally (once) as well as logged on remotely as different user(s).
However - because it is a hack - any number of updates/situations could
automagically unhack the system - and the hack does concern replacing a file
that aids in remote control of your system with one from a now more than 1
and a half year old beta software version - which was originally removed
from the final release - not to mention that getting this file from any
reliable source (guaranteed reliable) is shakey at best.
