Re: Remote access and automatize user account creation (Windows XP)

[Susan Bradley <sbradcpa () pacbell net>]

Keep in mind that multiple remote sessions on XP is (as I recall) a eula 
license violation.  Are you referring to remote access that allows the 
helper and the user to see both at the same time?
