Is there a "Run" command for "Offer Remote Assistance"?

  • 772

Is there a "Run" command for the built in windows service "Offer Remote Assitance"?

The only way I know is to open "Help and Support", and search for "Offer Remote", then click the link that comes up. But this only works on XP worksations so far as I can tell.

I know you can save it as a bookmark once you locate it the first time, but If you can't get the "Offer Remote" search result then you're dead in the water.

Thanks
