| Needed: Idiot proof remote desktop setup so later today I'm helping my cousin buy a laptop so he can connect to his work computer from home or his camp or wherever he wants anyways he really knows nothing about computers and I would like to get him something that won't screw him up and will be pretty easy to setup and maintain since it'll be a new laptop it will most likely have vista and the computers it will be connecting to are windows xp sp2 thanks for any info |

| 1. Find the IP of the Computer you want to access ( www.showmyip.com ) 2. Click Start -> Run -> mstsc.exe 3. Enter the IP address 4. Click Connect. 5. (Optional) If you go to C:\Windows\System32\ you can find the mstsc.exe and create a shortcut to your desktop. It will remember the last IP you accessed, so if his system has a static IP, end of story.
