I wanted to access my files in my desktop computer at home using a computer outside like in the office. I’m using windows xp home. I heard that Remote Desktop Connection is good but i don’t know how to use it. Please help.

That annoying TV advert with the service/product of "Go To My PC" may be of help.

I have installed Ubuntu Server 8 and when i start my pc it brings me the command prompt. I have downloaded and installed Ubuntu desktop. From there I have done 77 updates! All went successfully!
Now when I start my PC it will load the desktop automatically. How can I restore it to bring me the command prompt first and if i want the desktop start it manually using "startx"?
Please help! Thx.

sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
this will stop the desktop from loading without removing any programs. then if you want the desktop you can do startx or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

I have a jpeg picture saved in my files that I selected as my desktop backround. When I go into Control Panel, Display properties, Desktop, and select the Position, Stretch is the only way to get the entire picture on the screen but it’s all "stretched" out to the sides and distorted. If I select Center or Tile Position it is giant and only fits a small portion of the pic on the screen. Please help!

The problem is not the size of your pic, it’s the dimensions proportion. It’s taller than it is wide, right?

You’re going to have to edit, crop actually, to make it roughly 4:3, or 16:9 if you have a wide-screen monitor. So use an image editor program to crop the top and/or bottom of the pic. Paint is already on your computer, altho it’s kind of hard to use.

Here’s some free online image editors:
