What’s the best (free) way to remote control a Windows XP computer from a Windows 7 (Pro) one?
i.e. I want to see the Win XP desktop on my Win 7 pooter and be able to run software remotely (although it'll be on the same LAN).
I had a quick look at Remote Desktop in Windows 7 but that doesn’t appear to allow it.
You can do RDP from Win7 to XP, as long as XP supports RDP (ie XP Pro). You can't go from XP to Win7. Well actually you can, but you need to download a separate client. – MBraedley – 2010-11-14T00:02:36.137
XP isn't the Pro version. – andygrunt – 2010-11-14T00:12:43.713
Does XP Home not accept RDP connections? If so, connect over the console via %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe -console – Robert Kerr – 2010-11-15T20:49:47.370
