Re: Home Networking and Administrator Rights - Surely It's Not Thi

I didn't mean you had a God-like complex literally, hehe. It was more
the desire to do anything and everything (which I repeat, is NOT
sharing/networking). Indeed remote configuration goes much beyond
administrator access.

I forgot to mention Windows offers remote desktop natively so you
could save yourself some cash and use it's built-in capability
instead. Albeit there is a caveat. Remote desktop has to be manually
allowed on the receiving computer so you would have to get up from
your chair at the beginning of the session. Since your going to be
doing this for a limited period only until your PC is setup it sounds
like a small price to pay. I've never used Windows remote desktop but
it shouldn't be hard.
