Workaround for only one user on XP

Hi all

I've discovered from reading this ng that with XP Pro I cannot have a
local user logged in with a remote user also connected, which
unfortunately is the exact scenario I need.

So - what are the options for a workaround - if any? I've got PC
Anywhere (or VNC), and was wondering if it was possible to use the
"switch users" option. UserA would be the local user, and UserB would
be logged into the machine with PCA host running and waiting for an
incoming connection.

Would that be enough to work? Has anyone else come up with a solution
to get this to work in any way?

Cheers
HL
 
At the current time, Windows XP will only support a single interactive
session. There are third party solutions, but they are not supported
in any manner by MS and may be in violation of your EULA...

Let Microsoft know that you would like concurrent sessions
