How to enable remote desktop in windows 7

Remote desktop is a software that enables you to use your computer when you are not in front of your computer.

First thing you need to do is click on start, right click on my computer, and go to properties, and click on change settings, and remote tab.



Now click on allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop (less secure) because you can able to connect on other windows operating system. and then click apply and click ok.


Now you can do both things, either change the password by pressing and holding ctrl+alt+del. or you can setup a completely separate user by clicking start and right click my computer and click on manage.



Now on the computer management click on local users and groups, click on users folder and right click on the background and click on new user. Type in your new username and your password. check on user cannot change password and password never expires. and click create and close.



Now go back system properties, click on select users, click on add, and enter the username of the user you just created and click on check names and click ok.



If you have other firewall other than windows firewall, you gonna have to figure out how to open up port 3389 so that it will allow remote desktop connections. now go to cmd and get your ip address by typing ipconfig.


you can remote desktop until you log off your computer. and only one person can remote desktop into client operating system at a time.

After you log off. in other computer, go to start and type in remote desktop. and then type in your ip address and press enter. and type in your username and your password.
