I am trying to set up XP Pro to allow more than one RDC connection at a time. Part of the process is going into Group Policy (Run ->gpedit.msc) and cong to Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates-> Windows Components-> Terminal Services.
The problem I'm having is under Windows COmponents, the ONLY two things listed is Windows Media Player and Windows Update. Where is everything else? Please help! Thanks!
BTW, here are the instructions that I am following.

Anything you do is a hack, on XP Pro you can only have a single Remote Desktop connection at a time officially.

Those directions are interesting, but I don't think there are administrative templates by default in XP. Are you in a domain environment?

I don't remember there being much in the way od admin templates but it has been a long time since I fooled with XP.

There is the local policy, which is what he is probably referring. As has been mentioned, anything you do is a hack and any eventual update to RD will break your hack. There are many free solutions, one has been mentioned, you would be better off with one of them.
You can do group policy on xp pro without being on a domain. There are more templates than Windows Media Player and Windows Update, just go to add/remove templates and you should see a more .adm files. The hacks that are out there online supposedly let you have more than one 1 RDP to XP if you are not in a domain.
