"Remote Assistance" works that way, and RA is basically just "Remote Desktop" with some helper infrastructure. And there's third-party remote control tools, like VNC, WebEx, GoTo*, etc. Depending on how you're getting these reports, maybe the person doing the reporting is not recognizing the difference. The "remote admin mode" or whatever it is for Win 2003 Server and later also works this way, even for the regular RDP client. That shouldn't apply to Win XP, of course, but maybe somebody found a way to make it happen? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
