    Remote Desktop to second user Account


    I have Windows 7 Pro x64 with 2 User Accounts (Home and Work). Is possible to, when I am logged in in my Home Account to log into my Work with Remote Desktop or any other software. So I have my Work Account in a separate window just like when I connect with remote desktop to another pc.


    My second question is, is there a script to configure my display setup? I use multimonitor on my Work account but I want only a single monitor on my Home Account. Is there some way to set this up with a startup script?


    Thanks in advance :)

    No... because Remote Desktop will lock the desktop on whatever machine you access... On one machine it will lock itself out.

    I recommend the free program TeamViewer for your purpose.

    You can configure your displays, and even use dual-monitors.

    If you install the rdp concurrent hack you can remote into a computer while another account is logged on. I use this with my HTPC so I can remote in as the htpc user while the htpc user is logged in and we're watching TV, movies, etc. Works perfectly.
