Remote Desktop Option Not Available

[Guest]

Hi! and thanks in advance for your support!

My desktop is a Win XP Home edition v2002, SP2

When I reach the Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / System /
Remote tab... only the remote assistance option is available... the Remote
Desktop option does not appear!? thus, can not be activated!

Any clue as of how i can make this option available on my desktop?

PS: I could made the Remote Desktop service permitted through the Windows
Firewall... but still not available through the Window / ... system tab.

Thanks again for your assistance !
