Remote desktop connection
For some reason I can't seem to access it. I am an administrator, and even tried adding myself to the remote desktop users group and I'm still not seeing it. I inserted an XP Professional CD and tried to install it, but it tells me that it's already installed.
Why don't I see it under accessories/communications?
I tried another profile, but still nothing.

I think if you recently ran Windows updates there was an RDP updtae. You should find it now under Start>All Programs>Accessories.
Otherwise try %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe, which you can simply launch from the RUN dialogue as mstsc.exe.All things are possible, only believe. -

It is under My Computer, Right Click on My computer, go to properties. Click on the Tab that says Remote. Make sure Remote Desktop Connections has a check mark in it.
That should allow you to remote into your desktop. -

Yeah, it's already enabled...I just couldn't find the program. Mstsc.exe worked, thanks a lot.

I regularly use the command line mstsc /v:SERVERNAME also the -console switch if too many others are logged into the other sessions.Foolproof systems don't take into account the ingenuity of fools
