Remote Assistance
This is a video on how to use remote assistance. It’s a program built into windows. Unlike remote desktop, it allows the person you are helping to see the screen at the same time. remote desktop will lock out local users. XP was the first version of windows to have remote assistance. Every version since has had a copy of remote assistance. It will incorporate with Microsoft email programs to make it easier or you can save it as a file and then use your own email program to send the file. & also has a feature called Easy Connect, but that doesn’t always work.

change remote desktop default port
This video will show how a registry hack (regedit) can change your default remote desktop port (3389) to another port. When your ISP only provides one IP address, you can use this hack to edit which machine you want for remote desktop by stating the port in the remote desktop window. I run several virtual machines at one time and use this hack to specify which one that I want to tinker with while I am at work.
This is available on Microsoft Windows Server 2000, 2003, 2008 Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
