Better Remote Assistance?

I am looking for a better remote desktop utility.

I have used Window's own for some time but it has it's down sides.

So I run 7 all over the computers I have, So I want to be able to run it so the user can use the PC while I remote to them.

I'm not using LogMeIn or TeamViewer as I only use them if I have to.

So what?

Thanks. Jack,

better assistance remote

You know that TeamViewer can be used for local use as well. It just works over the Local Network and never goes out to the internet. I use it on one of my computers so that I can connect to it from inside and outside of my house since it doesn't have a monitor connected to it.

Otherwise, you could use Remote Assist inside of Windows but that tends to be a lot of works setting up just to get connected where by the time you have it you could have just walked to the computer.

Another way is using a VNC client. I have never found a reason to use it but there are people that do. Some of the clients include: TightVNC, UltraVNC, RealVNC. And so on, I would look into them if that is the way you want to go.

Then you need to look into the VNC clients.
