  Hi there,
  
  I believe that Remote Desktop is controlled via a Registry key. Please see this link for details:
  http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2004/05/04/serverhacks_remote.html
  
  If that's the case then in your program all you need to do is alter the value of the registry key (as detailed at the above link) to turn Remote Desktop on and off.
  
  If you're working in managed/.NET code then I think you should find classes and functions to read/write registry values in the Microsoft::Win32 namespace. My C++ is barely passable (why am I posting in this forum then ) so I wouldn't feel right giving out a code sample, but here's some detail about the namespace:
  
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfmicrosoftwin32.asp
  
  The examples at the above link should help you along a bit.
  
  If you're writing an unmanaged application (like an old school Win32 app, I suppose) then you'll need to use the functions in the Win32 API. I believe the function to use is RegSetValue() or RegSetValueEx(). Like I said, my C++ is barely passable but here's a link to the functions:
  
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/winprog/winprog/r_functions.asp
  
  And here's some detail about working with the registry in the Win32 API:
  
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/registry.asp
  
  Hope that helps a bit, but sorry if it doesn't
