Whenver I use remote desktop connection on my other computer, it logs that computer out so that I can control it. Is it possible to use remote desktop connection while still having the computer that is being controlled stay logged on?

This is a deliberate limitation in the desktop versions of Windows. It's so that you don't go using a workstation as a terminal server without paying for it.
Also FYI, Windows 7 does not log your account out on remote access. It just locks it. Windows 7 fully supports multiple people logged in. It just won't allow them to be using the computer at the same time.

There are some 3rd Party Methods that could help you with having multiple sessions to the same computer.
Please remember that these are not supported by Microsoft and there's a possibility that you could be in violation of your TOS (Terms of Service) meaning your license could be blacklisted.

Are you asking about RDP'ing into the same account as locally, or into a different one? – user1686 – 2015-04-15T06:09:51.737
