Note: Home editions of Windows Vista do not allow remote desktop.

If you never use the remote desktop feature (or if you use another product) then you may want to disable it as it is just another wasted resource on you PC.

To disable your remote desktop follow this;

  • Open up you system box, either by;
    • Control panel > system and maintenance > system
    • Right click you computer icon in your start menu and click properties
    • In you start search box type system, it will be listed just as system
  • In the left column click remote settings
Remote desktop settings

Now under the section called remote desktop simply uncheck ‘Don’t allow connections to this computer’, this will disable the remote desktop to your PC.
