No, however you can upgrade from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows XP Professional to get Remote Desktop. You can use Windows XP Home Edition as the client for accessing your Windows XP Professional computer running Remote Desktop.

There are also plenty of other ways. Internet sites provide a service as well as all sorts of programs (any of the vnc's pcanywhere and many others). There are a few good ways to get at files like barracudadrive. A lot of messengers have ways to share desktops too.
What exactly do you wish to do?

can you try to install "msrdpcli.exe" which you can download it from Microsoft site and try to establish RDP session. I hope you can do it.

the easiest way to set up a remote desktop i've ever seen is CSpace:
a simple decentralized and highly encrypted instant messenger with embedded realVNC. easy to install, no configuration. tunnels NAT/Firewalled routers, one click remote desktop.
another option is hamachi & real / ultraVNC ... google for those.
Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

Thanks for the posts. I would like to be able to access and drag files from my desktop to my laptop while at other locations.
