The Windows XP operating system supports the ability to work with a remote computer. This system function is called "Remote Desktop". Using this tool, you can, for example, while at home, work with programs left running at work, or monitor on one computer the simultaneous work of several users working with different applications.

Step 1
Open the "System Properties" window, go to the "Remote Use" tab, in the "Remote Desktop Control" section, check the "Allow remote access to this computer" checkbox.
