Work on someone’s computer remotely!

If you are the “Computer Guy” for your church, you will understand the value of this tool. There have been many times people have called me to come and fix their computer problems. Being spread so thin as it is, it is hard for me to drive across town to take spyware off a clogged machine. I use Cross Loop on a weekly basis. Basically, each party downloads and installs this free software. One person will host a session and give the invitee their special session code. When you connect, the invitee will see a screen appear with the hosts screen in view. The invitee will be able to nagivate the computer just as if they are sitting in front of the hosts computer. This tool has saved me so much time and gasoline. I recommend every IT department to have this nifty tool.

You can even install it on your office computers if you are really lazy and then login and fix the receptionists problem two doors down. If you want to do a great prank, host a session on your coworker’s computer while while they are at lunch, go to your office and when they return start opening windows and typing things in the word processor. It’s great fun when they think a hacker has taken over their computer.  Just don’t get too carried away.
