    Connect to homegroup computer


    Is there a way that I can connect to a windows 7 computer on my network WITHOUT kicking the person off?

    I want to be able to ghost the user. In essence I want to be able to see what they see and control the cursor to guide said user through software without getting up and standing over their shoulder.

    Thanks,

all, I am trying to set up a homegroup with window 7. I am currently set up as a public network. it states this computer can't connect to a homegroup. I can't turn on media streaming. I have spent hours trying to figure out what is wrong with no avail. I don't mind paying for a fix.
