Don't blank screen on Server when remotely connected

[stephen.r.gray]

When I connect from Computer A to computer B using Remote Desktop, the
B display blanks. I'd like for the display not to blank so if someone
is sitting in front of B, they would be able to see my mouse movements,
programs opening, etc. in order to provide help desk type info. Anyone
know how to do this?

Thanks,
Stephen

Not using Remote Desktop...

There is this shadow function if your running W2003 server...

Otherwise look at Remote Assistance. That will do what you want provided
your both running XP of some flavor. Open "Start -> Help and Support" and
search on the string 'remote assistance'...
