How to Run a Program from a Remote PC?

Hello All,

OK, I have my network setup and have access to everything needed. But how
do I set up my main PC, so I can run remote programs from the Networked PC?

Situation: The Main PC is in my study, 2 other PC's are in the Kids rooms
and the Network PC or Hub, is in the linen closet on the ground floor. I
have programs on that PC which I don;t have on my Main PC simply because they
are large programs and I do not want to burden my main PC since they are not
run all of the time.

Example: I have Quicken on the Hub. How do I setup everything so I can
have a Quicken icon/shortcut on my PC, which when pressed starts up Quicken
on the Hub, wherein I can run and view it on my main PC as if I was on the
Hub doing it?

I'm sure its possible, I just can't see the forest through the trees........

Thanks ~~ Gunny

The programs themselves have to support running in a server/client
situation, both through software and through licensing. I don't think you
can do this with Quicken, but check with Intuit.
