I am connecting from a one-monitor WinXP machine to a two-monitor WinXP machine over Remote Desktop. There are several applications running on the remote machine, but they are located on the monitor 2, and I can only see the contents of monitor 1 in my remote desktop window. How can I get to the applications? Thanks! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.53104 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 17:37:06 -0800 desktop dual-head remote remote-desktop windows winxp event http://ask.metafilter.com/22362/What%2Doptions%2Ddo%2DI%2Dhave%2Dto%2Dwork%2Dwith%2Da%2Dcolleague%2Din%2Da%2Ddifferent%2Doffice%2Don%2Da%2Dshared%2Ddocument%2Din%2Drealtime What options do I have to work with a colleague in a different office on a shared document in real-time? I want to be able to open a word document and allow a user to watch/participate (view-only would be acceptable too) in the editing process. VNC or remote-desktop are not really options because there are two corporate firewalls in place and no VPN connections. Even a joint text editor would be ok in a pinch, just copy/paste from Word and back when complete. As always, free is better. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.22362 Tue, 09 Aug 2005 09:20:23 -0800 remote-desktop vnc gfroese
