    Onscreen Control via Remote Desktop


    Hello,

    I set up my Vista Home Premium machine to be used with Remote Desktop (via the hack) from my Win7 Machine (Ultimate). I am using my Vista machine as a home server and to stream movies to my TV. I wanted to set up the remote desktop to be able to control what I see on the TV from my Win7 machine-- essentially using my Win7 machine as a remote control for the Vista machine to access Hulu or Netflix etc. However, it seems I can login to the Vista machine as some kind of shadow-user, but not actually control whats happening on-screen.

    Is there someway I can get onscreen control of the Vista machine via Remote Desktop?

    Bless y'all!

    Or Logmein

    BTW, you will probably find that the video quality is crapped through an Remote connection. Streaming will also be slower so its not recommended really.

    Thanks. Both of these worked!

    Youre right, streaming is pretty poor through remote connection. But I just wanted to remote start the streaming from my Win7 so I can watch it on my TV.
