My Desktop presents a virtual image of your distant PC’s desktop, just as if you were sitting at it. With this feature you are able to run any program, change settings on your PC, or re-boot it. Please note, this feature is available with most Pocket PC devices as well.

The full functionality Remote Desktop Viewer with advanced toolbar allows:

·          viewer sizing to your preference

·          the ability to send CTRL-ALT-DEL command to XP and 2000 host PC’s

·    the ability to transfer files between PC’s

·          the ability to cut and paste text between PC’s

·          the ability to setup a remote printer for printing your host PCs  documents locally ( only possible  if the host PC running I'm InTouch is XP or 2000)

·          the ability to choose display setting colors

1.        After selecting I want to Control My Desktop from the Remote Access Login screen, the following screens will appear.

By selecting Yes to the Security Warning screen that may display, a full functionality Remote Desktop Viewer will be automatically downloaded to your local PC.  If you select No you will only be able to see your remote desktop using the limited functionality Viewer.

2.        Remote Desktop Viewer loading status screen will appear.

This screen provides confirmation that the Viewer is being loaded

3.        Your MyDesktop/Remote Control password is required.

For security purposes, you must correctly enter the My Desktop/ Remote Control password that you established for a My Desktop session.  This password can be the same or different from the password used during initial Login to your computer. Your Remote Control password can be changed at the PC running I’m InTouch by selecting the User Information/Access Rights screen within the Configuration tool or during a Remote Session by selecting the Configuration feature.   
 

4.        Remote Desktop Viewer loads

Now that the Viewer is operational, you are able to navigate your PC as if you were sitting at it.

TIP:
If you choose to resize the viewer to Full Screen mode and wish to display the toolbar at the top, point your mouse pointer on the “I’m InTouch” toolbar button at the top of the screen.  Once the toolbar appears, click on the pin situated at the top left corner to pin down the toolbar.  On the other hand if you choose to make the toolbar disappear then simply click on the pin again to release it.
