Is it at all possable to share files and print through Remote Desktop Web
Connection?

To access remote drives through redirection while using the Remote Desktop
Web based access method you need to modify the
C:\Windows\web\tsweb\default.htm file on the remote PC, ie. the PC running
IIS. Look for the line...

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives = FALSE

....and change it to...

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives = TRUE

Likewise this line...

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPrinters = FALSE

....and change it to...

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPrinters = TRUE

You can if you install
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ls/1.0/wxp/en-
us/msrdpcli.exe Note that The Remote Desktop Connection software is pre-
installed with Windows XP.

Thanks so much it works great! Do you know if it is possable to access other
computers on the network (different domains and workgroups) through this main
web connection?

Thanks
