How to enable Remote Desktop Remotely ?

Enabling Remote Desktop Remotely
It's strange but I can show you the exact path to do it. Here it goes so how do you enable remote desktop when you do not have physical access to the computer. It is all to do with the registry!
1. Open command prompt and type regedit
2. Click on file - connect to Network Registry - type the network computer name for which you want to enable remote desktop.
3. After its connected
4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server for the registry settings for the remote computer (take care not to select your own desktop)
5. Double-click fDenyTSConnections.
6. Change the value of this setting to 0 to enable Remote Desktop or 1 to disable it, and click OK.
7. Disconnect the remote computer from the registry editor using File, Disconnect Network Registry
8. Finally, open command prompt, type mstsc when RDP dialog box open type the user name and password to go in to it. That's it
