Hey Shane

I would like to be able to log into my desktop from my laptop while away on business. What is the best software for this? Also I have remote assistance unchecked in system properties and have disable the remote services. Do these need to be enabled to log in and would I have to set up my router to allow me to log in from a hotel connection?

Keep it simple, just like I do

Use the free version of teamviewer.com

Install it on your home computer, have it start with Windows and set a password. Right down the ID it gives you (It never changes) and keep the ID in your wallet. Then when traveling load up teamviewer on your laptop , put in the ID and password and your set.

No port forwarding, no nothing needed

Awesome, works perfectly. Have you ever tried the video function for communication (I guess the equivalent would be skype)?

Hey Shane

After I'm done with remote log in and I close out. How do I keep Teamviewer from showing menu box with "OK, Buy License, and Like" on remote machine and the one I'm using to remote log into? It's a little annoying. Is this something I may have to deal with since it's free (the license for this sucker is expensive

lol). Great program though.

In this topic there are multiple solutions to hide Teamviewer's sponsored popup:
http://teamviewerforums.com/index.php?topic=1255.0

Three possible solutions:
1) Compile the most recent AutoIT script provided by turkeybaster42 (September 2012)
It is easy to compile an executable file when you have a source code to paste in AutoIT (free programming tool). izogfif posted a note about how it works.

A second suggestion about how it works:

Quote

AutoIt is a very small and standalone application with no reliance on massive runtimes like .NET or VB. All you need to run AutoIt scripts are the main AutoIt executable (AutoIt3.exe) and the script. Scripts can also be encoded into standalone executables with the built-in script compiler Aut2Exe.

Compiling Scripts with Aut2Exe
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/compiler.htm
Download page:
http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/

Then, you can run it when needed or put it at Windows startup.

If you had troubles with exe compilation, I'll send you my compiled executable. I think it's always important to read and try all things before to download them without a single effort.

2) Install clickoff as explained by tarpanet (he says it works on 64-bit OSes).

However, remember this official note written by the clickoff creator (make a registry backup before):

Quote

Q: Does ClickOff work with Windows Vista/Windows 7?
A: I've had reports stating both, it does or doesn't work. I don't know, the latest version of windows I use is Windows XP on a netbook. All other machines run Linux. Just try it, it won't break anything.

3) Buy a program like this. But I think it should be your last resort, especially in case you have more programs with sponsored popups.

Thanks for the reply. I have never compiled a script before (don't know how really, I have never taken the time to learn, I know I should. I'm not a tech but not a novice either lol).

I uploaded it here:
http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=096aaca909b00dfbc6af2d0e563c5443

Wait 25 seconds, and a download button will appear at bottom.

To test it soon, I suggest you to run the executable when the annoying popup appears ... of course it's not my code, but at maximum it won't do nothing on your system.
If your antivirus recognizes it as a virus, add it in your exclusion list or disable it temporarily.

Will this run automatically even after I reboot?

No, you can do it creating a new task in Task Scheduler.
I left a Windows startup link two posts ago.

I don't have Teamviewer (currently) so I'd like to know if it's working, after your test.

Works great even with auto start in task scheduler. Need to have it running on all machines though. If you have avast with sandbox you need to add the .exe file to exclusions in the sandbox exclusions. Barely uses any system resources.

I always turn off Avast auto sandbox lol
