WTF I had to recommend buying these computers with XP Home instead of XP Pro, and now I can’t use Windows Remote Desktop – WTF. Guess I should have though about that… :bloated: Anyway – Is there any way to incorporate the HOST features of Remote Desktop into Home edition?? Third party or otherwise, doesn’t have to be an M$ application… Help?? ---

PCanywhere is the slowest, most bandwith intesive remote desktop software out there. That said, it is also the most secure… VNC gets my vote tho ---

VNC is not encrypted, so don’t use that unless you don’t care about security. Upgrade to XP Pro or use PCA. PCA isn’t slow at all. It’s optimized to be used over 56K. ---

yeah i’m not all-too-concerned about security, but it does say that the connection is encrypted when it opens. it makes you wait while it generates random data and shit. like i said this is the full version. 😉 :eekdance: [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/remote-desktop-help/2631.md?page=2)
