Not unless the program is designed as a network program. Your laptop
Windows registry does not contain the info required by the program
installed on your desktop.

Sometimes you can do this if the installation of the program does not
register anything in the Windows registry.

Jerry,

Some very simple applications will allow you to run with the application simply
installed on a server (ie your main computer), and accessed by the client (ie
your laptop). Most Windows applications write settings into the Windows
Registry, which is local to each computer. In the latter case, you will
probably not be able to run a program from the laptop, if it is only installed
on the main computer.

Hi
You can use a Remote Control program.
It would run any thing that is on the main computer, while using the Screen,
Keyboard, and Mouse of the Laptop.
