When I go to the Remote Tab in System properties, I can't see the
Allow users to connect remotely from this computer checkbox, or
even the Remote Desktop altogether??!! I am puzzled, as I have
Windows XP Home Edition. Please respond
You answered your own question.
You have Windows XP Home Edition.
Windows XP Home Edition only has Remote Assistance.
You cannot use Windows XP Home Edition as the host/server for Remote
Desktop - it is not included.
You must have Windows XP Professional or super-set version (for the versions
of XP) in order to utilize Remote Desktop.
Windows XP Home Edition is the only version of Windows XP where Remote
Desktop is NOT an option.
(Out of the 5 versions.)
You can either upgrade to Windows XP Professional or use a free utility like
UltraVNC to install a server on your Windows Xp Home Edition system.
