August 28th, 2007Remote Access to Your PC Made Easy
How often does this happen? You’re using your computer, either at home or work, and you need to share what’s on screen with someone on the other end of the phone. Quite often, this results in lost productivity as you try and describe or read everything displayed on screen, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
Remote desktop software has been around for a while, and while many of the solutions work alright when you’re just trying to access a computer from somewhere else, they fail at being effective in sharing a single desktop with multiple users. Luckily, RemotePC offers a solution for this and a few other common problems with remote access software.
I would have liked to have known about this program a few years ago when I first started supporting the software at my previous employer. Quite often I would get phone calls with users generally describing an error, but not telling me the things I needed to know in order to properly diagnose and fix the problem. If I could have logged into their machine without kicking them off the system, it would have saved quite a bit of time and hassle on both our parts.
RemotePC would also make remote training sessions a snap. Several users from all over the continent could be connected to a single desktop and we could go through the steps of how to use something, and any questions could be answered in the group, rather than individually.
Another great feature of this application is the ability to easily move files between the host computer, and the one you’re using. I’ve been using Windows’ built-in remote desktop solution for a few years, but one of the biggest hassles I’ve had has always been moving files between the two computers. With RemotePC this is a simple drag and drop process.
You can try RemotePC for 30 days free, and I’d certainly recommend it if you’re tired of dealing with the limitations of Windows Remote Desktop. This software will work on Windows Vista, XP, 2000 (with SP4) and Windows Server 2003. In my tests, I’ve found it has a very light resource requirement and can run in the background completely unnoticed.
