    I used to (6 month ago?) be able to connect to my Vista Home Premium desktop via RDC after applying this hack. However, about a month ago, I had to reformat the computer. Now, I need to use the RDC connection again, but every time I try to do so, I get an error message saying "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connect again. If the problem persists, contact the owner of the remote computer or the network administrator." Yes, I did enable the firewall to let RDC through.

    Did MS do something that disabled this hack? Or did I just do something wrong? Are there new things than I can do to make it work again? Thanks :D
