Ever been at a friends house and wished you could easily get into your home computer? Or maybe you are at the office and need to print out a document that is on your home computer at your work printer. Or maybe you just want to know how it works. Well there are many ways to control your computer but today we are going to show you how to use the built-in Remote Desktop (RDC) feature of Windows to our advantage.
Remote Desktop, included with the Professional and above versions of Windows, enables you to connect to your computer across the Internet from virtually any computer, Pocket PC, or Smartphone. Once connected, Remote Desktop gives you mouse and keyboard control over your computer while showing you everything that’s happening on the screen. With Remote Desktop, you can leave your computer at the office without losing access to your files, applications, and e-mail.

OK, lets get started.
First off, lets enable Remote Desktop on your computer. Right click “My Computer” and click properties.
Now let’s check the box to “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer”. Click on Select Remote Users” to make sure your name is included, if not add it if you want to connect using your name.
