remote access in MS XP

[Wil McGilvery]

WinXP has remote access built in. go to system properties and look at the remote tab.

You can add users to allow them remote access. The catch is no one else can be logged on at the same time and if you log on remotely, you must log everyone else off. It works in a similar fashion to Terminal Server.

Once you are on you can do whatever you want. I have no idea how secure it is, but I don't see many security vulnerabilities surrounding remote access.

No the question is not linux, but the list is cross OS, so please do not
mail the windows wail.

What I need to know, knowing so little about M$ is : A good friend needs to 
allow
someone "remote access" and raise invoices. What I do not know is does MS have
an secure socket layer or something like it.
