Good point, missus won't be watching TV while VNC has taken over the console...
Even Ultimate which supports remove desktop won't allow that.

I thought RDP, and the other remote access solutions for that matter, will give you either a console view or at a minimum lock the session of the currently logged on user while you are remotely accessing it. - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: Clayton Doige [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 12:28 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: enabling remote desktop on vista home prem Hi all, sorry for the noise I have a creaky laptop with vista home premium installed, and I want to consign it to running as a media centre box, but would still like to rdp on to it while the missus is watching her favourite tv shows I have seen a few download hacks, reticent to go down that route, so am wondering if one of you kind folks could recommend the safest bestest way to get my cake and eat it too! For clarification: Laptop > Docking Station > AV system and Network so I guess I would need both the ability to rdp on to the laptop, but also the ability to not interrupt the locally logged in session too All suggestions and tips are greatly appreciated!
