Another "it works" on Windows 7 Home Premium report here. While the checkbox setting to enable Remote Desktop access to the PC doesn't become visible after applying the hack, the concurrent-sessions Remote Desktop is indeed enabled.

Many thanks all. This was driving me mad for some time.

This worked for me on Windows 7 Home Premium but I had to manually enable Port 3389 under "Advanced Settings" as the options to set up Remote Desktop via the GUI's are disabled. Sorry if this is obvious to everybody but it wasn't for me Smile

I have done the above hack, and checked the port above. It all works, except I cannot get the computer to wake on wireless. Any ideas?

Why upgrade to sp1 particularly months before final release? No new features, just apparently hack-breaking code. I have no plans to apply it ever, at least until someone sorts out this RDP issue! Good luck! I'm sure folks here will come up with a solution.

Go to the windows Firewall Control Panel, click Advanced Settings, click Inbound Rules, click under Actions "New Rule...". Choose "Port", click Next. Leave it at TCP. Where it says "Specific Ports" put in 3389, click Next, and Next on the screen that says "Allow the connection", Next on the screen that says "When does it apply", give it a name, like "Remote Desktop" and click "Finish"

SP1 is now final and now the patch no longer works.
