More than 1 user on a remote windows machine

Hi,

I have an XP Pro machine on my LAN and I've used rdesktop to log into it and that works fine. The problem is that nobody can use the computer while I am logged into it.

Is there any way for me to use the computer remotely WHILE somebody else is using it under a different account?

Thanks

Bitruder,

Probably not. Windows is not a multi user OS, at least, not multiple concurrent users.

can't be done I'm afraid, you need a server version of windows to support multiple concurrent connections.
