Depending on your OS, you might be able to use Terminal Services (sometimes called Remote Desktop) to do this.

On some OS's (XP Pro for instance), this will "lock" the machine. It blacks out the screen until you're done with it, then it comes back with the screen locked (like when you do Ctrl-Alt-Delete "Lock Computer"). The machine would then have to be unlocked with a name and password. I'm not sure if there's a way around that.

On other OS's (Win2K Server for instance), it allows multiple people to terminal service in at once (2 by default I believe) while the local access is not affected. In this scenario, you'd be working behind the scenes without the customer knowing you're there.

If those two don't work for you based upon the OS you're using, you could look into a non-free service. My friend uses one called GotoMyPC link. I know for a fact that GotoMyPC has an option for blacking out the screen. I'm not sure how good it is in general, but the nice thing about these services is you don't have to open up a firewall or port forward a NAT.

Hope that helps...



I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.
