I have installed Vista Home Premium on my children's computers as well as
mine. I really like the reports, but I don't want to have to go to each one
and login just to read the reports. Is there a way to view the reports from
each one from my computer?

You don't need to log into each separately. Log into your own user
account and go to the Parental Controls applet. Choose one of the
standard users to manage and look on the left side of your screen. You
will see all the standard users there and you can look at each one's
activities from the one place.

How will that work? None of them have accounts on my computer. They each
have their own computer. I don't want to physically go to each of their
computers, logon, run Parental Controls, and look through the reports. I
want to sit at my computer and access the reports on their computers over my
home network.

Sorry, I misread your first post. You'll need to connect using a Remote
Desktop type of application. Unfortunately, Vista Home Premium does not
allow you to use Remote Desktop to control other computers. You'll need
to use a third-party program such as pcAnywhere or UltraVNC. Naturally
you'll need to check with those third-party program mftrs. whether their
products are supported in Vista yet.

I have Vista Ultimate and would like to access the report remotely without
using the Remote Desktop, (Using RD disconnects the current user if they are
logged on). Is the report saved as a logfile that could be accessed via a
share?

This would allow me to review the report while my child was playing a game
without disrupting them.
