buildwith.net - Remote Desktop on XP Home

Saturday, October 17, 2009

With WIndows 7 only a few days from launch this might seem a little obscure.

However, I just scored a tidy little HP Mini 110 running XP Home, and have decided to use this as my primary email machine.

What I really want is to be able to RDP into this little baby so I can see stuff on a bigger screen.

This HP mini ships with XP Home (NZ$559 from Dick Smiths) so RDP is not natively supported.

However, a couple of simple registry hacks to make it look like I had XP Prof installed, plus then install Terminal Services, got it all going.

Here are the links:
