Activate Remote Desktop Remotely

Just a small nugget as i have used this a couple of times but always forget which registry key it is!

If you have a pc your trying to Remote Desktop into but it isn’t enabled, use the remote editing features of regedit to change the following

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fDenyTSConnections

Change it from 1 to 0 and your in!

I’ve used this on XP but not Vista yet but the same key exists so i’m guessing it still applies
