kflynn Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) Hi,I wonder if anyone can help or advise please, my question should be relatively simple, as a matter of fact I'm actually quite embarrased that I don't know the answer myself.I have bought my 9 1/2 year old daughter a pc running xp pro for christmas, I have put it on to the home network. Unfortunately it will need to go into her room allowing unsupervised internet access, obviously i am using a white list for allowed sites and have installed a key logger. But what i would really like is to be able to set the laptop in the kitchen (running Vista) to be able to watch her screen in a similar way to remote assistance that way we can monitor her as though she was in the same room which would obviously be my preferred choice.any help appreciated Many thanksKevin Edited December 23, 2008 by Kevin F Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kflynn Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Or on further consideration is there some way of setting remote assistance to start automatically at boot & stay open? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 You could install VNC, this would work perfect for your situation.http://www.realvnc.com/You would install the vnc server on her computer, then install the client on your computer.I am not sure Windows Remote Desktop will work. I don't think(am not sure) it will allow both of you to be logged on at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Welcome to Besttechies, Kevin! And what a lucky Daughter you have, she is gonna be so thrilled.Just adding a little extra, because I have a Daughter too. Girls tend not to look up "unscrupulous sites" (like boys do, yup, have one of them, too) but girls tend to click on anything. Educate her about the AIM, Myspace and Facebook Cooties (the one that says, "hey, is this you? click here"), install Spywareblaster, have a good firewall and AV. And remember the Parent Mantra, "she'll be fine!" Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
