Prevent users from disabling the Remote Desktop Sharing

settings in Microsoft Windows NetMeeting

NetMeeting's Remote Desktop Sharing feature lets you gain control

of another person's desktop, which is useful for Help desk personnel

who need to see what's happening on a user's computer. However, users

can easily turn off this feature. To prevent users from turning off

Remote Desktop Sharing, perform the following steps:



1. Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).

2. Navigate to the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Conferencing\Mcpt registry

subkey.

3. From the Edit menu, select New, String Value.

4. Enter the name Nx, then press Enter.

5. Double-click the new value, set it to 1, then click OK.



Users with typical access privileges will no longer be able to access

the Remote Desktop Sharing option under the NetMeeting Tools menu.

This setting doesn't affect an administrator's ability to turn off

Remote Desktop Sharing.
