Matt, Thanks for the reply. I won't be able to try it until Wednesday. The computers are in a lab at a senior center where I teach classes.
Basically what I'm trying to do is keep the Vista machine's (the remotely controlled machine) desktop visible on a projector so the students can see what I'm doing. Because of the layout of the room, it works better if I can remotely control the Vista machine from one of the other computers, which are all XP Pro. So far I have no problem with the remote except the screen on the Vista machine switches to the "locked" screen as soon as the remote session starts, which means the students see nothing but a typical log-in screen saying the computer is locked.
