I have noticed that everytime you use the remote desktop
feature in windows xp and server 2003 that the local
computer doesn't see anything that's going on and their
account is locked, even after i'm finished and have
disconnected. Does anyone know of a way to keep remote
desktop from hiding what's going on (kinda like VNC or
any other remote control app) or at least unlocking the
computer when the remote user has disconnected? Thanks
in advance. -Precision (remove "nospam." from my email

The client machine goes black when being accessed by RDC.
When disconnecting the client machine returns to the login window requiring
login.
Don't know about "locking".

As soon as it connects to another computer (i have two in
my office) the remote computer gets the blue background
with "unlock computer" box just like if you were to press
windows+L right now. Screen never just turns black. I
don't want the computer on the other end to do anything
except let me administer it, kinda of like VNC does or PC
Anywhere. I found a way to do this in Windows 2000, just
dont know about XP. -Precision

That is by design... The alternative is to shadow... See my posting
to your question in the server.general newsgroup.
