sc0rpi0 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 If I enable remote desktop with this: reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlTerminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t reg_dword /d 0 /f does this mean that I can remotely login to my computer from anywhere? Do I need to make any more configs such as making firewall exceptions? Please assume that I have configured my 3rd party firewall. Is this a security hazard if I do not have a login password? Meaning, could anyone connect? Much appreciated. Quote
