Away From Home: Control Your Computer Anywhere
Do you like this story?
In 1940, Bell Telephone Laboratories researcher George Stibitz demonstrated the Complex Number Calculator at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. The calculator, however, was in New York City. According to the Computer History Museum website, “Stibitz stunned the group” by remotely operating the calculator via telephone lines. Today, remotely accessing your devices isn’t nearly so novel. With the built-in Remote Assistance application on your Windows machine, you can control who can access your computer and for how long.
Instructions
Remote Assistance Host
1:
Create an invitation from the host -- the computer you want to control
remotely. Click “Start” and “Control Panel.” Type “Remote Settings” in
the search bar and press “Enter.” Click “Allow Remote Access to Your
Computer.” Ensure that there is a check in the box, and then click
“Advanced.”
2:
Choose the length of time for the invitation to stay open, up to 30 days. Click “OK,” and then click “OK” again.

Email the invitation to an account that you can access from your remote
location. The attachment automates the connection process; if you don’t
receive the email, you can't control the host computer.
6:
Change your host computer's hibernation and sleep settings, if
applicable, via the Control Panel, in Hardware and Sound, under Power
Options. If the host computer is hibernating or sleeping when the Remote
Assistance request comes from the remote computer, you won’t be able to
connect.
Remote Assistance Connection
7:
Launch your email program or website on the remote computer. Open the
email you sent to yourself and the attachment with the invitation.
Windows then will automatically launch its Remote Desktop Connection
software.

Connect to the host computer and perform your desired tasks. Enter your
administrator password to allow changes to your system and to gain
access through your computer’s firewall, if needed.

Close the connection only when you've completed all desired tasks, as
you won’t be able to reconnect without a new invitation from the host
computer. Reconnect using the same process if you accidentally lose the
connection on your end; if the connection is lost on the host end, you
can't re-establish it.
