This is a problem for me too -there are lots of times when it can happen. For example I have a number crunching program running 24 hours a day at home (on Win XP pro) , and I can control and restart it from work as long as I stay logged in as the current user at home. But if my wife or son logs in to do something else, although my program, and my VNC server, are still running in the backgrounds, all I can see is a black screen. I cannot (usually) even see the login screen. It would be much more convenient for me if I could see whatever the user at home is seeing, regardless of who, if anyone, happens to be logged in. That would be true remote control. Is there any way to achieve this? Thanks David Colquhoun
