* ''Allow other users to control your desktop'' - Allows users accessing your remote desktop to control the desktop. In other words the remote user can do anything to your desktop that they want using their mouse and keyboard as if they were sitting physically at the local system.
* ''Ask for confirmationYou must confirm each access to this machine'' - When selected, this option cause a dialog to appear warning you of an attempt by a remote user to connect and prompting you to confirm or deny the connection. If you are likely to want to log in remotely you will need to turn this off since you will not be at the local system to accept your own connection.
* ''Require the user to enter this password'' - Specifies a password which must be entered by the remote user to access your desktop. It is strongly advised that you select this option and specify a password.
* ''Always display icon'' - Causes the remote desktop icon to appear in the Notification area of the top status bar when remote desktop access is enabled (even when a remote user is not connected).
* ''Only display an icon when there someone is connected'' - Displays an icon on the Notification area of the top status bar when a user is remotely connected to the desktop.
* ''Never display an icon'' - The Notification icon is never displayed regardless of the current state of the remote desktop system.
Finally this screen specifies the command to run on the remote system to access the desktop. Once you have configured Remote Desktop access you are ready to try connecting.
