What other alternatives are there to PC Anywhere for Windows XP, that wont mess anything on the computer up (eg Welcome screen), thx

[ThC 129]

what is wrong with the built in version?

[Netslayer2k1]

nothing, i love the built in version its like the best thing out of all these products ever but you need all XP machines, i have a notebook which is runnin 98 (might goto xp), that i want to access the XP machine, so im stuck...

How about VNC? but since its open source, it may get hacked easly

A good program though its not freeware but im sure you can find ways around that, is remotely anywhere www.remotelyanywhere.com is the website. Check it out, i used to use it on 2k before i got XP. Its a very good program puts PC Anywhere to shame in my opinion.

a really good Remote PC software that i use on win2k (havent tried on XP yet) is Timbuktu! http://www.netopia.com/software/products/tb2/
it has lots of nice options and is easy to use!

i just installed it and it seems like a very nice util. now, all i gotta do is read a 200 page manual to configure it properly.

all right! i have read the manual and configured it. it's a great remote admin app! i asked somebody to test the remote control and they said it's working pretty good with a cable capped at 16k/s upstream.

You could try Remote Administrator at www.radmin.com

I am not sure how compatible it is with XP, but it worked really well when I used it on 2k.

dameware utilities is also very good, but not free i'm afraid

the intresting thing about this proggy is that unlike pca, vnc, this one needs no host installed.

You can connect remotely to any pc you like from your own without having to install something irst on that pc.
You need to know the proper login details of course, it aint a hacking tool.

There is an alternative solution I recently learned about titled BeInSync, which essentially synchronizes all your data automatically between your PCs. So instead of running PCAnywhere and the likes you don't need to bother. The link is http://www.beinsync.com.
