The end of the school year is fast approaching and with it, summer vacation for your children. When they are not outside enjoying the weather, they will probably be inside on the Internet. No matter how much you trust them, it is still nice to be able to check in every once and a while to make sure they aren’t getting into any trouble on the computer. This is where a Parental Control Software comes in handy and if you have I’m InTouch installed on your home computer, you already have one!

I’m InTouch can be installed in “Stealth Mode” which hides all indication that it is running on your computer. This allows you to remotely log in to your PC to see what it is being used for without any indications you are watching. You can view your home computer in real-time just as if you were sitting at it.

Setting up I'm InTouch's Stealth Mode

So every once and a while, remotely access your home PC during the day from your office workstation to check-in on your children and make sure everything is OK.

If it feels like you just don’t have enough hours in the day to get everything done at work, I’m InTouch remote access software can help you out. Here are a few handy tips for savings time so you don’t end up at work past bedtime:

1. Work from home - don’t spend an hour (or even two) commuting to and from work everyday if all you are going to do is use your workstation. Instead, install I’m InTouch remote access on your office workstation and remotely control your computer from your home PC. You can run all the same programs and access your email just as if you were in the office.
2. Administer all your computers from anywhere - if you manage multiple computers and are always having to travel to them to run updates, fix problems, and install software, why not use I’m InTouch Premium and manage them all from one PC? Just install I’m InTouch Premium on each of your PCs and then log in to your I’m InTouch administrator account to have one-click remote access to any of your computers from any PC with an Internet connection.
3. Conduct Online Meetings - Save time, money, and help the environment by conducting online meetings using I’m InTouch’s web conferencing software.  Install I’m InTouch on your PC and invite up to 10 guest users to share your desktop - perfect for conducting presentations, training sessions, and meetings and avoiding unnecessary plane, train, and car trips to meet clients and employees.

Notification of a Guest User Logging in

1. From the I’m InTouch configuration utility, (double-click the satellite icon in your system tray) select the User Information tab.
2. Click the Add new user button.
3. Fill in the required information and click Apply.
4. Click the Access Rights button to set the user’s privileges. From this screen you can choose how much control the guest user will have when they log in to your PC.
5. The guest user can log in to your PC by entering your Computer Name and the User Name and My Desktop password you selected.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 to add additional users.
7. When you no longer want a user to have access to your PC, simply remove the check mark from Grant Access.
