How to View a Remote Computer Screen
Being able to remotely view a computer screen and control that computer just like you are physically sitting in front of it is a powerful ability, particularly if you need to access some information on a computer that you can't easily get to. Microsoft includes a program on the Windows operating system called the Remote Desktop Connection that lets you view and control a remote computer through network and Internet connections.
