Using Remote Assistance via Windows Messenger

This section shows how a home user initiates Remote Assistance via Windows Messenger to a trusted friend.
User Paul West has just installed Windows XP Professional on his home computer and wants his My Documents folder to appear on his desktop. Paul already has a Hotmail e-mail account and uses Windows Messenger to stay in touch with friends. He turns to his friend and trusted computer expert, Cynthia Randall, whom Paul has listed as one of his Windows Messenger contacts. Cynthia is also running Windows XP and Paul can see she's online. Paul decides to use Remote Assistance.

1. Paul clicks Tools, clicks Asks for Remote Assistance, and chooses Cynthia's e-mail address, as shown in Figure 2 below.
   
   Figure 2: Starting Remote Assistance with Windows Messenger
   The Windows Messenger window opens on Paul's computer as shown in Figure 3 below.

2. Cynthia receives the invitation as an Instant Message. She clicks Accept.
3. On Paul's computer, a dialog box appears indicating that Cynthia has accepted the invitation for Remote Assistance. To initiate a Remote Assistance chat session, Paul clicks Yes.
4. Cynthia's computer attempts to connect to Paul's computer. When the remote connection is established, the Remote Assistance session begins on Cynthia's computer as shown in Figure 4 below.

   Note the two Start menu buttons. The inside Start button controls Paul's computer and the outside Start button controls Cynthia's computer. Cynthia can see Paul's desktop including his chat window in addition to her own chat window on the left side of the screen.
5. At the same time, on Paul's computer, the Remote Assistance page opens. Paul explains his request in the message entry box and clicks Send.
6. Cynthia enters her response on the text window as shown in Figure 5 below.

7. Cynthia clicks the Take Control button located in the top left corner of the screen, as shown in Figure 6 below.

8. Paul receives a notification dialog box asking him if he wants to allow Cynthia to take control. Paul clicks Yes.
   Note that although Paul can allow Cynthia to temporarily use his machine, he remains in full control over the Remote Assistance session itself. Paul can end the session immediately by clicking the Stop Control button (or pressing the ESC key) in his Remote Assistance session.
   In this scenario, however, Paul wants Cynthia to fix his problem and continues to let her control his computer. Cynthia can now use Paul's computer as if she were sitting in front of his computer.
9. Cynthia right-clicks the desktop, chooses New from the context menu and clicks Shortcut. The Create Shortcut wizard appears. Cynthia clicks Browse, navigates to My Documents and then clicks OK. The wizard enters the correct path. Cynthia clicks Finish to create the shortcut.
