The Remote Desktop Connection feature in Windows Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions enables easier remote access to any resource or application that your organization has made available to you. As you can see the Home editions are missing the feature which could pose a problem for some users of those editions.

We have to rely on third party products to add Remote Desktop functionality to Windows Vista Home Basic and Home Premium. The software that we are going to use is called TightVNC. It takes up about two megabytes of disk space on your system and requires some basic configuration to work.

The current user properties can be edited during the installation of the program. You should supply a secure password, set a port or port range that should be used and edit the other options that are visible in the configuration menu. I would advise to remove the option to disable remote keyboard and pointer (view-mode only).

Congratulations you have added remote desktop support to Windows Vista Home Basic and Premium.
