Often, users of personal computers, not delving into the intricacies of the operation of the device, as well as not understanding the nuances of various programs, use only a limited part of the available functions in their work. This approach is highly justified with a small margin of time, but it can serve poorly if additional requirements or desires to do something in a new way arise.
If you don’t want to understand on your own, but among your friends there are those whom you could turn to for help, then if a problem arises with your computer, Remote Assistance can help you.
This Windows function is a standard service of the operating system that allows another user of the same OS to receive remote access to the files of your computer in order to help resolve your difficulties. You must fully trust the person who will help you, as he will get full access to your computer, be able to view personal files and more.
The application is built into the system, starting with Windows XP. It turned out to be so in demand that it became part of later versions. In addition to its standard purpose, “Remote Assistance” is also used for remote training of someone, since when you connect, working with someone else’s desktop is available as well as with your own, and the person whose computer you are connected to will be able to see everything actions on your computer.
If we consider the "Remote Assistance" of Windows 7, then you will notice that it is slightly different from its counterpart in previous versions.
Using the Remote Assistance service in Windows 7
First you need to make sure that both the user and his future assistant have Windows 7 installed on the computer, and they have the Windows Live Messenger messaging program, otherwise the connection will fail. Next, you need to start the Windows Live Messenger communication service and perform the login procedure (if you do not have a Live Messenger account, you should create it on the official website or directly in the program menu).
Next, press the key combination Win + R, in the window that appears without quotes, write "msra" and click "Enter". This will open the main window of the Remote Assistance service. Here you need to select the option "Invite someone you trust to help" and then click "Use Easy Connect". As a result, you can select an administrator in the Windows Live Messenger contact list and send him an invitation. The future assistant should also open the program window and select in it “Help the person who invited you” together with “Use Easy Connect”. After completing all these steps, the administrator will be able to remotely connect to the user's computer .
In the future, all these tinctures can not be carried out, saving them as standard.
Thus, it is possible to carry out remote administration and provide computer assistance at a distance without additionally installed programs, only by means of the standard Remote Assistance service built into Windows.
