Xp remote assistance - Tracking Invitations

[ben2ong2]

When you send an invitation from the Help and Support Center, it is logged and stored on your computer. This is to provide a means for Windows XP to verify that any incoming Remote Assistance connection request is valid. Windows XP also keeps tabs on any unanswered Invitations in order to allow you the ability to Expire, Resend, Delete, or learn more about the Details of the Invitation.
To access this list, you need to perform the following steps:
·   Click Start > Help and Support > Invite a friend to connect to your computer with Remote Assistance > View Invitation Status

·   Select one of the Invitation Options
o   Details: This option provides you will all the information about the Invitation. It tells you how the Invitation was sent and to whom it was sent if applicable. It also provides you with the expiration time, open status, password status, and message included.

o   Expire: This will simply change the status of the Invitation to 'Expired'
o   Resend: In case the recipient never received the Invitation, or it was sent to the wrong location, this option allows you an easy way to recreate the Invitation
o   Delete: As you can guess, this allows you to delete the Invitation. You may get a warning if the Invitation is still in 'Open' status.
