Thanks for explaining it for me Jim, I don't use any of the features so
don't know much about them. I recently installed pro bc my school gives it for
free but my scanner doesn't work with it or my cd burning software so I am going
back to the home edition. I am going to keep the pro on hand though.
Thanks again,
Stacy

Pro features that aren't in Home
Edition
Remote Desktop - All versions of Windows XP--including Home
Edition--support Remote Assistance, which is an assisted support technology
that allows a help desk or system administrator to remotely connect to a
client desktop for troubleshooting purposes. But Only Pro supports the new
Remote Desktop feature, which is a single-session version of Terminal Services
with two obvious uses: Mobile professionals who need to remotely access their
corporate desktop, and remote administration of clients on a network. You can
access a Windows XP Remote Desktop from any OS that supports a Terminal
Services client (such as Windows 98 and, interestingly XP Home). XP Home can
act as the client in a Remote Desktop session; only Pro can be the
server.

- If the remote (mom's) computers are running XP PRO then you can enable
remote desktop.
- http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/getstarted/remoteintro.mspx
- it's free and buit-into XP PRO.
- I use it all the time for the same reason you want, to control mom's
computer. I've used it to remotely control my uncle's computer in Hawaii
too.
- I have also used TightVNC http://www.tightvnc.com/ to control a Win 98SE
computer, haven't tried it on XP Home or Pro.

Anyway, mother isn't the most computer literate person in the world so
it would be much easier for me to be able to control her computer than
to try to explain to her what she needs to do. Anyone know a good
program for doing that? Thanks
