    Welcome!

    See this tutorial: Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network - Windows 7 Forums

    That is for Windows 7, but Vista is the same.

    Unless you have that enabled, nobody can log in remotely using built-in tools. If it is enabled, they still need your username and password to get past your logon screen. That is why it is a good idea to have a password.

    Good information, again Jonathan.


    If you are still concerned, I would create a new user account, with a new password.
    Do not give the information to anyone.
