Remote Desktop Behavior

Systems: Windows XP Professional / Windows XP Media Center Edition
2005, Stand-alones

I have configured Remote Desktop to work through the Internet so I can
connect to my computer at home from work and vice versa.

Each time I connect, however, the user that is logged on locally (at
the remote machine that I am accessing) is automatically logged off.

I do not want that to happen. I want to be able to "share" or "shadow"
the locally logged on user/session, kind of like Symantec's pcAnywhere
software does.

How can I configure Remote Desktop to behave in this way?

The bottom line is you can't at least not with Remote Desktop. You could use
Remote Assistance or an alternative like UltraVNC.
