Okay, I have two computers all configured to be able to do remote access.
Now I am testing. I click the .rdp file and and it connects to the second
computer. A window comes up saying Log On to Windows with a blank for a User
Name and Password. What user name and password does it want? I have tried
all the ones that I am aware of on my system and nothing seems to work.
Where are these stored on the hard drive? I'm lost.

The user ID and password are local to the PC you want to remotely access and
control using Remote Desktop not your PC. The user must be an administrator
or be a member of the Remote Desktop Users Group and have a password...
