@pthomas:

done

ps. that was a nice fipo! Welcome aboard!

EDIT: Oops, just saw gunr beat you to it.

you would'nt happen to know if there's a winnt.sif entry that controls remote assistance, would you?

you would'nt happen to know if there's a winnt.sif entry that controls remote assistance, would you?

Make a new section in winnt.sif called [PCHealth], and then use the values below.

[PCHealth]RA_AllowFullControl = 0   ;Specifies whether a person (other than the end user of the computer) can take full control of the computer from a separate location.

RA_AllowToGetHelp = 1  ;Specifies whether to enable Remote Assistance.

RA_AllowUnsolicited = 0  ;Specifies whether to enable unsolicited Remote Assistance.

RA_MaxTicketExpiry = 600  ;Specifies the time, in seconds, after which a Remote Assistance invitation expires.

your wish is granted.

your wish is granted.

and i bow before you.

BTW, did you know I lived in India for 5 years? "Bombay walla" mean something to you?

"Bombay walla" mean something to you? 

Oh yes, I can recognise a former "Bombay walla" when I see one....

And, do test out those settings in winnt.sif (for remote assistance), before concluding testing - maybe it also needs additional settings from Windows.Firewall. Well, in any case, I'm happy to have helped people.

@ prathapml: acha acha (nodding my head in the typical indian way).

@ Gunr: Thanks for the info and feedback. I've copied that directly into my WINNT.SIF. Thanks for your work.

Glad it worked. You can sometimes find useful stuff in the readme.txt, I normally don't read them myself and don't really know why I did this time!!

sorry if this is obvious, but does enabling this enable the thing in which if you go on another computer and you put in your computer's IP in IE, you can control it? or is it just the thing where you get the program "remote desktop connection" and type in the ip?

hehe, hope i made sense

thanks
