Live Mesh on Remote Desktop!

In my earlier post I have introduced and thought you how to configure the Mesh. I’ve been experimenting on Live Mesh since the day I used it.  I connected / synchronized 2 desktop PCs (my desktop PC at home and a desktop PC at my workplace) and my notebook. 

Live Mesh has this feature that allows you to connect to another computer remotely as long as it’s synchronized into your Live Mesh account.  Two days ago, using my notebook I tried to connect to my home PC remotely, and it worked! I can access my home desktop pc like I’m in front of it.  I can even access my secured drive protected by Windows 7’s BitLocker. 

I’m not that super know it all guy who can setup a remote desktop connection.  But with Live Mesh, remote desktop connection is as easy as clicking your mouse. :)

Here’s a screen capture of my work PC while I’m accessing it with Live Mesh!

Here’s how to connect to your other synchronized devices:

Go to your notification area in the taskbar, click the Live Mesh icon

Click the manage devices icon, the icon that looks like a desktop PC, then you’ll see the synchronized devices to your Mesh.  You can also see which of the devices are online in which you can connect with it remotely.

In my  case, my Work PC appears to be online.  Just click on the “Connect to device” and wait for your PC to be connected, and that’s it!  Just like I said it’s as easy as a mouse click!  (Note: Sometimes  if the remote PC is in use, the user of that PC needs to approve the connection before you can access remotely)
