Hello all,

I am able to see printers and faxes, documents and settings, etc when connected in this fashion. Is there a way to also view the remote pc's control panel? Thanks for your answer/s in advance.
 
Is there something in particular that you want to be able to see on other computers? I don't know of a way to see Control Panel, but Dameware NT Utilities will let you see pretty nearly anything that you want. Maybe that will do the trick.

Skip,
I am a network administrator and i liked the idea that I can set printers up on a remote machine from my workstation via \\computername\printers and faxes; it saves alot of time so I was just wondering if there was a way to access control panel the same way because sometimes there is a need to make changes via computer management or other. I'll look into Dameware.
Thank you for your response
 

Free remote control software. I know one person that put it on all machines on his network so he didn't have to leave his desk. Good luck.
