Don't "Remote Desktop" To Your Own Machine
For goodness sake, do not --I repeat, DO NOT-- use Microsoft's "Remote Desktop Connection" program to connect to the same computer you are running it on. In Windows XP, this will completely lock up your machine, shut down your monitors and your networking, and there's no way to recover from it except to reboot the machine.

"The client could not connect. You are already connected to the console of this computer. A new console session cannot be established."
--- This is what I get --- YMMV
That's the kind of message I would have expected. Instead, my monitors shut off and my system was completely unresponsive -- couldn't even ping it. The guy next to me tried it too with his XP machine and same thing happened to him.
