I am trying to figure out if it is possible to connect to a computer using RDP, VNC, Etc without actually disrupting the computer you are logging into.
My wife uses my desktop computer at home so she can get work done while I am at work, and alot of time I need to access that computer to get either files or use a specific application etc. So basically whenever I login to it I hijack it from her.
So this leads me to ask is their any way I can access an application on the computer without interfering with her activities? Sometimes I need to login with a linux box or mac as well so I am not sure if the new App Virtualization methods will work.
Windows Server has this capability none of the home user versions of Windows gives you this ability nor right through a license. – Ramhound – 2013-03-05T19:23:23.027
Does it allow you to access them through macs and linux aswell or only other Windows pcs? I am guessing this is Virtual application streaming, so I am geussing it's not possible. Thank you for the information. – user1632018 – 2013-03-05T19:46:55.370
You could remote desktop into a virtual machine that is running on the computer without taking over the whole computer. – Linger – 2013-03-05T19:47:39.747
I thought about that but I wouldnt have access to any of my applications or files since it would have to be a fresh install? Unless I am wrong and their is another way. – user1632018 – 2013-03-05T19:59:11.307
