Remote Desk Top

[martymas]

hi team i wonder if this has happened to any one else.

in the past ive allways disabled remote desktop.

but i see it is now enabled.

i can only presume it has been enabled through one of the

microsoft patches

i always view any remote appli with suspician.

because it is a way for hackers and baddies.

to enter your sys with out you knowning.

as im in the dark as to the purpose of the remote desktop.

i can only presume microsoft has enabled it

so they can keep an eye on your sys and you

hope im wrong.

no doubt it is always handy to keep an eye on your sys.

i now understand how others can enter your sys.

with out you knowing.

any ideas.

Any client computer would have to know your computer's name and have permission to access it via remote desktop. Just having RD enabled doesn't automatically allow access.

rclik mycomputer/props and see the remote tab. uncheck it mostly.

fairly sure u can do start/run services.msc and disable terminal services too.
