Remote Desktop is a nice feature of Windows XP that lets you remotely log on to and work at a machine as if you were seated at the local console.
This can be a lifesaver for fixing problems on machines at remote sites, but what if you forgot to enable the feature before you left the client site?
To remotely enable this feature:
- Run REGEDIT on your XP workstation or on your Windows 2000/2003 Server.
- Click on File, then choose "Connect Network Registry".
- In the Select Computer search box type the computer name in the dialog box.
- In the remote machine's registry browse to the following key: "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server"
- Under the Terminal Server key find the value named fDenyTSConnection (REG_DWORD). Change the value data from 1 (Remote Desktop disabled) to 0 (Remote Desktop enabled).
- Close Regedit.
- Reboot the remote machine for the change to take effect. Do this by opening a command prompt and typing the following command: Shutdown -m \\{machinename} -r
- After the remote machine reboots, Remote Desktop will be enabled on it.
- Test this from your workstation, open Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Remote Desktop Connection.
- You can also type mstsc in the Run command.

The user profile settings are saved on disk. They are loaded when the user logs on:
- Local profile - Stored in the C:\Documents and Settings\username folder. The profiles file is NTUSER.DAT in the directory called by the user's name.
- A mandatory profile which discards any changes the user makes to their profile at logoff time, can be implemented by modifying the name of the user profile file from NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN.
- The ntuser.ini file is used to set up the user roaming profile components that are not copied to the server.
- The ntuser.dat.LOG file is used for NTUSER.DAT file recovery in the case of an error.
- Additional folders in the C:\Documents and Settings\username folder are:
-
Application Data - Refers to data used by application programs that the user may modify when they change a setting in the application. -
Cookies -
