[QUOTE="quiller, post: 102670, member: 27306"] Good guide, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary work, considering the availability of other options. If you have a spare $50, pick up a really old desktop or notebook (enough to run XP, nothing more) and use Remote Desktop. I'm using a 650mhz IBM Thinkpad as my "desktop," then connecting over RDP to the HTPC on a second account. Grab [url=http://www.kood.org/terminal-server-patch/]Sala's Terminal Server patch[/url] and you can run a local account (with MP running) and a remote account (your "workstation" account). The benefit? Really cheap way to take a powerful machine (which yours is) and multi-task. Plus, if you add a little DNS magic, you can remote to the same account anywhere you have an Internet connection. [/QUOTE]
