I see from the posts form others that Vista HB doesn't have Windows Remote
Desktop, which is like Tight VNC or PC Anywhere that allows a client machine
using WRD to control a host/server machine running WRD. Windows Messenger or
Outlook have nothing to do with Remote Desktop Sharing.

No...I was thinking of remote assistance. RA needs either Messenger or a
mapi email client.

I'd recommend UltraVNC rather than RealVNC.

With Windows Remote Desktop, you cannot log into open session.
