2) This can be achieved using "remote desktop connection" in
programs >accessories >communication. You must have Xp pro and you must enable remote desktop connections. Also, only one person at a time will be able to use the PC, either from console or from remote connection.

3) Gotta check this one out. Will tell you if found

4) This one's pretty easy. RUN > control userpasswords2 >advanced > enable the last checkbox.

A software known as Dameware Mini Remote Control should take care of this

1. U can talk to every one, by going to command and typing

net send PCNAME_ON_LAN "messege"

Alternately, u can do "ctrl-alt-del" and there's an area/ option somewhere in task manager that lets u do that!

2. Just install ssh or telnet server on the PC which u want to control! U have to port forward if the other PC (that u want to control) is in different IP range and uses a router

3. *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46209

4. Install "tune up utilities", "WinXp manager" . It lets u do that.
