   Not flaming, as it *was* only an idea, but the protocol has changed, quite a lot, so I suspected it wouldn’t work, and low and behold, it didn’t Worth a try though… I can’t wait until somebody cracks this one

   Excelent guide but did not work for me too. I installed it carefully but not working. Port 3389 is listening but cannot connect. All settings is done. I really need this function but don’t know what to do next…??

   @James, Tester, MM:

   Thanks for the feedback guys. James, one thing I realized is that the Windows 7 firewall is pretty radically different than Vista’s. I wonder if manually adding an incoming entry for port 3389 would help? Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Advanced Settings > Inbound Rules > New Rule. Just a thought.

   thanks didnt work because there is no terminal service service in controlset/services
   cannot figure out what is listening on port 3389 either it doesnt show up as listening in tcpview so i cannot figure out what exe is listening to kill it.. i tried to install the trminal service service registry keys from xp which worked but when trying to start up is say the executable doesnt implement that service.. it uses svchost

   can you post your terminal services service ie /currentcontrolset/services/termserv
   registry as an export file so i can look at it and play with it.. thanks..

   The service name should be “TermService”

   @ vergo, yep you’re right — I checked on the properties and it’s “TermService”

    Sorry everyone I took the post down because it’s not working right. As soon as I (or someone much smarter than myself) figures it out, I’ll repost. I’m sure there’s a way….

    Hi,

    Here is the methods that can be used to enable Remote Desktop in Windows 7 Home:

    Using Registry

    Windows Remote Desktop can also be enabled or disabled from the registry. This method is specially useful when you want to enable Remote Desktop remotely. You can connect to the registry of the remote computer through remote registry and make changes accordingly.

    To enable Remote Desktop through registry, do the following:

    Go to the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSetControl > Terminal Server

    In the right hand pane, find the key fDenyTSConnections and make the value to 0 to enable Remote Desktop

    If you want to enable Network Level Authentication, then do the following:

    Go to the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSetControl > Terminal Server > WinStationsRDP-Tcp

    In the right hand pane, find the key UserAuthentication and change the value to 1.

    I’m pretty much impressed with the stability of Windows 7. It is better than windows Vista which hogs my memory and cpu.,*’

    @Martha,

    I’d agree wholeheartedly. Vista was a piece of work. Vista seems to scale nicely to the amount of system resources available (both up and down).
