Here we come to the Tablet PC age. Main advantage of the tablet PC is the mobility and give a larger screen to work. Remote desktop your computer at office or home is a key advantage of using a tablet PC. However, I have some problems working in the older windows versions ( Windows Xp ) or Windows Server version as they are not touch enabled. Here is the temporary solution I used to overcome this problem.
You can touch enable Windows 7 without any problem. However there is not direct method to touch enable Windows XP. There for you need to increase the font size, icon size to make it easy to work with the touch screen. It makes the life so much easier as you can easily select the files programs you want to work with. Increa
Go to the Windows computer that you want to access remotely from your ipad or tablet pc. Right click on the desktop and go to properties and go to Appearance tab, click on the Advanced button to change individual Items. I always make the icons bit larger and increase the space between the icons. you can even increace the menu bar and the scrollbar size so you can easily work from the touch screen.
However, there is not direct way to enable fancy multi touch options like zoom in zoom out or scroll down and up touching touching any place in the window. At this stage only option is to upgrade to Windows 7.
