How to enable Remote Desktop in windows 7 BASIC ?

I was following tutorial http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff404238.aspx

It says

To configure remote access, follow these steps:

1. In Control Panel, click System And Security, and then click System.

2. On the System page, click Remote Settings in the left pane. This opens the System Properties dialog box to the Remote tab.

3. To disable Remote Desktop, select Don’t Allow Connections To This Com¬puter, and then click OK.Skip the remaining steps.

4. To enable Remote Desktop, you have two options. You can:

Select Allow Connections From Computers Running Any Version Of Remote Desktop to allow connections from any version of Windows.

Select Allow Connections Only From Computers Running Remote Desktop With Network Level Authentication to allow connections only from Windows 7 or later computers (and computers with secure network authentication).

I personally like Teamviewer free for personal use and its easier to install then VNC . The person that you are helping doesnt even need to install it they can just run it. Otherwise you can also install it as a service.

I can control the destop by a Android phone, iPhone, Browser with flash, Linux, Mac, or PC

    • I'm really happy that you're looking to apply for a role in writing articles for Neowin. We could do with more, regardless, so everyone is happy and has a story to read when ever they login to the site. https://www.neowin.net/contact/apply I look forward to reading what you have to say in the near future in one of the published articles here on Neowin. You can do it. You got this.
    • Uranus releases about 15% more energy than it receives from the Sun, according to two new papers published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The amount of heat a planet exudes could be an indication of its age: the less heat released relative to the heat absorbed from the Sun, the older the planet is. Uranus stood out from the other planets because it appeared to give off as much heat as it received, implying it had none of its own. This puzzled scientists. Some hypothesized that perhaps the planet is much older than all the others and has cooled off completely. Others proposed that a giant collision — the same one that may have knocked the planet on its side—blasted out all of Uranus’ heat. But none of these hypotheses satisfied scientists, motivating them to solve Uranus’ cold case. https://www.sci.news/space/warmer-uranus-14079.html  
    • The reality is that it's much, much cheaper to have a single code base than rewrite and maintain everything in native frameworks for each platform. It's just sad that the most reliable technology stack for it is so heavy on resources (literally 3 times the RAM, according to the screenshots).
