Remote Desktop

[Guest]

I have remote desktop installed on my XP home SP2 pc and I would like be able
to remote desktop into another pc that is in the same Workgroup as me. It is
a home network connected by a router. The host computer does not use any user
name or password to log in. What do I need to do on that computer to be able
to successfully connect to it via remote desktop? Also the host pc has XP
Home SP2 also and has remote desktop installed. Thank you.

By design Remote Desktop requires a user ID and password. Beyond that...

You can use a combination of the XP Power Toy "Tweak UI" and the information
in this KB article to do what you want. Setup Tweak UI for auto login for
your account...

Personally I think that is a BIG security risk...
