the machine that is preparing for a remote desktop needs a password. - its a must have - cause it ensures the user that really only the one person allowed can access his computer ( you know - that is meant for business purposes and an easy assistance.... so you must make sure to know who has access to the computer )
so in that case - the laptop must assign a password - and that password must be given to the accessing machine. the whole thing can only be setup with both computers working closely together. - well, i managed to set it up with the help function in windows which explained it just OK.

The help function in windows took me in circles...

Okay. I have RDC enabled on my server at home, it takes a bit of doing. Start>Right click on My Computer>Properties>Remote
Check the box marked "Allow users to connect remotely" or the equivalent. If there is no box, you have XPHome, which doesn't do RDC. Once checked, select the users allowed to remote in. Select the account he uses, make sure it has a password. Once done, write down the computer's full name, found in My Computer properties>Computer Name.
Then close all open windows on his PC, and log out. Go to your PC, Start>Accessories>Remote Desktop Connection. Click More Options, go to Experience, and click LAN (10Mbps or higher). Go to the main tab, and type in the PC's name. It will black out the screen, and then show a login prompt. Log in with his credentials. He'll be kicked with a warning, so be sure to do it when he's not there. (It'll ask him if he wants to let someone else log in, he'd click "no" and you're screwed. Fifteen second timer though.) You should still have all of his windows open, so you can see what he's doing. Once done, close the connection.
