A. I recently described how to enable XP's Remote Desktop setting. You can also use the registry to configure this setting by performing the following steps:
Start the registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlTerminal Server.
Double-click fDenyTSConnections.
Change the value of this setting to 0 to enable Remote Desktop or 1 to disable it, and click OK.
Close the registry editor, and reboot the computer for the change to take effect.
