This is probably the wrong place to ask, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if Remote Desktop Connection can be configured where more than 3 users can connect to an XP PRO computer.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks anyway . . . no luck. I went into gpedit.msc (group policy) and made some changes, but it actually reduced the allowed connections from 3 to 2. ??

In the link, they write . . .

To avoid losing the Server service's automatic self-tuning capability, make the change by using Registry Editor instead from a command line or from Control Panel. Not sure if they are talking about timeout or the number of concurrent connections. ??

But I couldn't find what to do in the registry.

You mention RDP connections. An RDP connection means an interactive session. With Windows XP, only one (1) single interactive session is possible at a time.
It may still be possible to access the computer otherwise, as the maximum number of inbound connections is 10. Such connections include e.g. access to shared folders.
With "fast user switching", more than 1 user can be logged in at a time, but only one of them can have an interactive session - the other user sessions are running in the background.
