Is there anyone out there who has experience with Windows XP Professional and Remote Desktop?
I have 3 machines. One is dual boot: XP Pro 32 bit and XP Pro x64. The other 2 run XP Pro 32 bit. I would like to use the dual boot machine (preferrably x64) to look at the other 2 machines by using remote desktop.
I've done some searching on the Microsoft web site. Some of the information is confusing. Some of the articles say that I can run remote desktop from the menu with "Start - Programs - Accessories - Communications - Remote Desktop", but it's not there on any of my machines. There is also an indication that it is possible with Internet Explorer. Some references say that the client must be downloaded, but supposedly it was part of SP1. I have updated to SP3 on the 32 bit operating systems. Has the application been eliminated by SP2 or SP3?
I feel like I'm chasing my tail and would welcome all help and suggestions.
Thanks.
