Take control of your friend’s desktop, the easy way
There are times when you friend or someone known to you need your help in computer related problems & you are miles away from there home/office. In this technology driven world still there are huge number of people who don’t know how to CLEAR RECENT DOCUMENTS in their Windows OS.
Anyway, if you are caught in such a situation you don’t need to worry thanks to Remote Desktop Sharing. You don’t need to come from New York to Bangkok to fix your friend’s minor computer problem. Off course you can’t cure his hardware or OS boot problems. There are number of applications for desktop sharing, even modern day operating systems like Windows, Mac & Linux have this capability built in with core OS programs. Generally these built in programs are a bit difficult to configure. Personally I prefer 3rd party programs like Crossloop & Teamviewer for this purpose. These two programs have give the use ease of accessing other PC remotely without any messy configuration. TeamViewer has a plus point for remote sharing from a Windows PC to Mac & It has an option of using a portable version without even installing it. On the other hand I personally feel CrossLoop is a lot more faster than TeamViewer. These programs can be downloaded from their respective sites.
Download CrossLoop
Download TeamViewer
The next step is tell your friend to download & install the same software as you did, share the access code & allow the incoming connect. That’s it, now you can control your friend’s PC & help him solving the problem he is facing.
