Access programs from my desktop computer using my notebook by wireHow can I access programs from my desktop computer using my notebook computer
and a wireless network router? I have the wireless router setup, with shared files, and my printer. What I can't figure out is how to use a program on my desktop computer from my notebook computer. What do I do? Wheelruner wrote:

What do I do? programs are not), you can't do this. Unless the program was designed to be run on a server with client workstations connecting, you will need to install the program on your notebook in order to use it. What you can do is share the data - files you made in the programs - between the two computers. Malke Per Wheelruner:

However I'd bet there are at leas a dozen programs that do the same thing. It's not exactly what you want, but if you save the document you're working on to your laptop, it might be close enough. -- PeteCresswell (PeteCresswell) wrote:

It would help if we knew exactly what program he wanted to run, but certainly the remote desktop function of XP or a third-party one would do the trick. Good catch! Thanks! Malke Wheelruner is not exactly clear as to "how to use a program on my desktop
computer from my notebook computer." Is the intent to run the program as if installed on the notebook - e.g. an application server required. Remote desktop would not meet that goal since he would be running the program on the desktop with results on the desktop - not the laptop.
