enable remote access to your Windows XP
October 4th, 2007
If you want to allow others to remotely connect to your Windows XP box through Remote Desktop Connection (or any other Terminal Services client), this is how you do it.
First you have to enable the Terminal Services service in your computer. Go to My Computer → (right click) → Manage → Services and Applications → Services. Find the service by the name Terminal Services and start it. If you want the service to automatically start every time your turn on your computer, change the Startup Type to Automatically.
Then you will have to go to My Computer → Properties → Remote and check the Allow users to connect remotely on this computer checkbox. That's all folks!
