Re: Invoking a program on a networked machine

Sounds like a "Remote Desktop Connection" and it is built into Windows. You
would need to post to a Windows forum for help on setting it up.

A laptop is a PC - no difference to the network. What else if different from

before it will work?

Running it on the laptop isn't what I need. The basic problem is that
I want to play the files through the quality sound card on my desktop,
which is hard-wired to my hi-fi system and speakers, while using the
laptop as a wireless remote from my couch. I've been trying to think
of some kind of monitor program that could be left running on the
desktop, capable of starting winamp there, which I could signal from
the laptop, but it would be lots simpler if there was something built
into windows to shell a program remotely.
