Multiuser enable XP

This may be one of those things that everyone else in the world knows about and have not told me (like DS r4 gadgets) but..

our darling son poured a bottle of Fruit Shoot (black current if you are interested) onto my sexy acer laptop and took out 1300 quids worth of laptop in about 3 seconds.. grr

so i dig around and pull out an old samsung which runs XP… just

so i thinks just use the laptop as a dumb terminal to one of the desktop machines in the house.. great except I often log into the main PC from work during the day.

i turns out that bloody microsoft disabled multiuser functionality in the final release of SP2 (which was meant to enable multi user)

but naturally someone out there put it back 🙂

so now i can use logmein to log in from work while lis is logged in using remote desktop .. woot.. a 3rd person could also be sat at the keyboard but not sure if my PC is up to more than 2 users.
