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

windows remote-access

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


On Windows XP you can use the following:

"%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore" hcp://CN=Microsoft%20Corporation,L=Redmond,S=Washington,C=US/Remote%20Assistance/Escalation/Unsolicited/Unsolicitedrcui.htm

On Windows 7 and Vista, it gets much easier:

msra /offerra <computername>
