Show black screen: Will show a black screen on the remote computer to give you some privacy.

Disable remote input: A user at the remote computer is able to do anything they like on the Desktop, but you can stop them by selecting this option.

Send key combinations: Allows you to send keyboard combinations to the remote machine.

Remote reboot: If you need to Log Off the remote User Account or reboot it these are options for that.

CTRL + ALT + DEL: Sends the CTRL + ALT + DEL command to the remote computer (since pressing these keys yourself will bring up Task Manager or whatever is defined on your local machine).

Your Desktop will be streamed to the remote computer instead and the person at the remote computer (if any) could control your computer.

Switch sides with partner: This option will literally turn the tables.

Additionally, if there was CPU and RAM intensive tasks running on either computer (particularly the remote computer which is capturing and broadcasting its Desktop), that will also have a negative effect on performance. There are a few settings we can change that can help with either speed or quality, but there is no substitute for a decent connection. Both Internet connections (for each computer) count when it comes to connection quality. NOTE: How responsive the remote desktop will be largely depends on how good the connection is between both. Over the rest of this guide we will go through these options and see what they can do for us. You have a red X to close the session at any time, Actions menu, View menu, Audio/Video menu, File Transfer button and Extras menu. Take note of the menu bar on the top of the Remote Desktop window. The remote desktop is from a laptop with a widescreen, which explains how it is displayed in the center of my screen, but we can change those settings later if required.

The picture shown above (click to enlarge if needed) shows the Remote Desktop on display.
