We need to get some feedback smile

Koby gave the answer a while ago. In a domain you would use

computer name
domain\username

In a work group, you use

computer name
you don't even need a username, but you CAN'T put the computer name in the username field.

The username you use is the account on the computer you are connecting to. No matter what user you put in there, if you do not have a username and password saved, you will get a screen like below which asks you for username and password.

So, put the computer name or IP address in the field, leave the other field blank and hit connect. If there is a user name of Karima you are trying to get into, you can put that username in.

Also, as an FYI, if the window exists which allows you to click and say you will accept remote connections, then that OS will accept remote connections. Most OS, even Win 7 Home Starter can start a connection. Only around four can accept them.

Understand if I am using RDC to get into the reception computer, if I put my name and password, it will take me to my account. So, it will log my receptionist off and log me on. Generally, when I RDC to her computer, I am trying to get to something on her computer, so I use her username like:

Comp name: Reception
Username: riverside\mary

This will immediately bring me into her account.

In a domain, you generally use the domain username, but, again, if you put nothing, it will bring you to the account that was logged out last, whether you put domain and username, username only and again nothing.

You also need to have admin rights.
