Hi Jim,
I didn't realize XP Home didn't have it. It was on my Windows ME and loved it. I didn't notice it wasn't on XP when I upgraded. I thank you for bring this to my attention.
With Love,

Pro features that aren't in Home Edition
Remote Desktop - All versions of Windows XP--including Home Edition--support Remote Assistance, which is an assisted support technology that allows a help desk or system administrator to remotely connect to a client desktop for troubleshooting purposes. But Only Pro supports the new Remote Desktop feature, which is a single-session version of Terminal Services with two obvious uses: Mobile professionals who need to remotely access their corporate desktop, and remote administration of clients on a network. You can access a Windows XP Remote Desktop from any OS that supports a Terminal Services client (such as Windows 98 and, interestingly XP Home). XP Home can act as the client in a Remote Desktop session; only Pro can be the server.

I thought you could do it with home as well.

- If the remote (mom's) computers are running XP PRO then you can enable remote desktop.

- it's free and buit-into XP PRO.
- I use it all the time for the same reason you want, to control mom's computer. I've used it to remotely control my uncle's computer in Hawaii too.
- I have also used TightVNC http://www.tightvnc.com/ to control a Win 98SE computer, haven't tried it on XP Home or Pro.

- I finally have my my own little network at home. My desktop upstairs, my mother's desktop downstairs, and my mother's laptop. Anyway, mother isn't the most computer literate person in the world so it would be much easier for me to be able to control her computer than to try to explain to her what she needs to do. Anyone know a good program for doing that? Thanks
