New install of Vista Home Premium. I need to remote desktop from my
XP/Vista Business machines to this Home Premium machine. I was able to
remote in when the machine was running XP. Looking through the help files I
see instructions for remote desktop for tabs I dont have. In properties the
instructiosn say tab "Remote Desktop". I have "Remote." I see remote
assist which I think is something different. Do I need to Add something to
get remote desktop feature?

Thanks

You cannot Remote Desktop into Home versions of Windows Vista, that is
only supported in the Business and Ultimate versions.

As Fred says, Remote Desktop not supported in Home Editions. But you could
use RealVNC instead. It used to be free but there's a small charge now.
