    I have 2 computers in my home on wireless router. I want to somehow manipulate my kids computer from my computer rather than having to physically go to theirs to do what I need to do...help?;)

    Im on wireless and the 3 other computers on the network in my house can be accessed by me. I can't remember how i did it but im sure its something to do with setting the pc's to administrator and user. That way i can sort out probs with my old dears pc without actually physically moving.

    You're probably talking about remote desktop? If you don't have XP Pro, you don't have RDP support built-in. In that case, look into a VNC client. For instance, UltraVNC is free.

    I use tightVNC but either will work, just set the server on your children's computer and use the viewer on yours and there you go... remote access
