Remote Desktop to a user while still logged on

Remote Desktop to a user while still logged on Is there a way to connect remotely to another user while there is a user still on the same PC. So one PC with users and both of them logged in at the same time, one locally and one remotely?

"As far as I know, Microsoft Windows desktop OS (XP, Vista, 7) do not allow for multiple simultaneous session. Only Windows Server (with Terminal Server) allows for that. A limited number of remote desktop session are allowed by default with every Windows Server license.

On Windows XP their were report of successfully setting it using DLLs from Windows Server. It is an ugly hack. You can find the instructions at a couple of places."

In addition to VNC, there are a couple of other web based services that allow this: Go To My PC and LogMeIn are two I have used with great success in the past, though neither allow simultaneous log ins on their free versions. You have to upgrade to the paid services to allow that.
