How do you give a user on a remote computer
administrative access to your computer? For example, when
using the MMC, there is an option to 'Connect to Remote
Computer', but I can't view anything, because 'access is
denied'. Also, many Microsoft KB and other remote access
software documentation say that 'make sure you have
administrative access on the remote computer'.

I have two computers connected in a Workgroup, both
running WinXP, and I have admin accounts on both, which,
for convenience, both have the same username and pass. So
when I'm logged in locally on either computer, I
obviously have full control over it, but I can't do much
when trying to access one computer from the another
(apart from editing shared documents, etc. etc)

Thanks a lot!
