The words, remote desktop tool… dun-dun-DUNNNN sounds like something only evil genius tech experts that live in dark mysterious basements set up. But guess what? Is that a complex process to master, then you might be thinking what if your Wi-Fi connection is temperamental and all these fancy computer skills are self-taught? Meet UltraViewer: A remote desktop tool that’s easy enough for just about anyone to grasp yet powerful enough to handle all sorts of remote work tasks.
If you’re just helping a friend troubleshoot or spending the day managing your 50 PC fleet from coffee in pajamas, UltraViewer makes remote desktop connections easy. In this tutorial, I will be showing you the basics of how to get started with UltraViewer (without any confusing tech jargon — just plain and funny step-by-step guide)!!
Step 1: Download UltraViewer
We must start by downloading the software. Besides, if UltraViewer is not there, how can you even use??? So, let’s get started.
How to Download:
- Go to Official Website: Open your browser (let’s be real, it’s Google Chrome) and type in the website of UltraViewer.
- Click the Download Button: On first glance at their homepage, you will observe a bright prominent button marked with “Download UltraViewer.” Give it the clicks you would give your favorite online shopping site, except this time it’s a productivity store and not a shoe store.
- Wait for the Download: It is not going to take long, but then again this isn’t 90s dial-up internet. Once the file is prepared, you’ll find it appear on the corner of your browser.
Interesting Fact: The most difficult portion of having UltraViewer may be the feedback about taking a seat/idle but not verifying their social networking channels promptly. Stay strong!
Step 2: Install UltraViewer
After you have downloaded UltraViewer, it is time to install it. Not to worry, it is not nearly as difficult or annoying as building an IKEA shelf, and you for sure won’t end up with some pieces left over.
How to Install:
- When the Installer Finally Downloads: Locate the UltraViewer installer you just downloaded (it will be in your “Downloads” folder unless you’ve moved it elsewhere and should end with “.exe”). Run the installer by double-clicking it.
- Select the Installation Options: You will just be required to pick some basic options (nothing fancy). Now, run through the setup (clicking “Next” until all is said and done).
- Complete Setup: Once installation is done, you need to click on ‘Finish’. Ta-da! So you just installed UltraViewer! No sweat, right?
Mocking Fact: It’s even easier to install than having a snack while the software sets itself up. But you know what, we have no problem with it!
Step 3: Launch UltraViewer and Setup Your Account
When done installing the software, open it with a complete setup to connect. You have nothing to fear, it is similar to switching on a new toy — exciting and easy!
How to Open UltraViewer:
Everything should be good to go!
- Launch the Software: Find the UltraViewer icon from your Desktop (it is a little computer screen with a blue “U” on it). To start the program, click it twice.
- Enter Your ID and Password: This is your personal combination to get into your computer. This is the passphrase you will use to connect this device with another or allow a connecting guest.
- ID: Your remote desktop telephone number. It’s from your computer only.
- Password: This is your off-chance pass that secures the device while doing other things.
- Your Access (if you want to be a bit extra secure): You can protect your UltraViewer Account with a password. This way, no one can access your computer without both the ID and password.
Fun fact: It almost feels like you got the keys to an exclusive club. Your ID and Password offer an immensely powerful and personalized VIP user experience every time you log in!
Step 4: Pair with Other Device
Alright, now the fun begins! We are now ready to connect UltraViewer with another PC or machine. This is where you start feeling like a boss at a remote desktop. Let’s see how it’s done.
How to Connect:
- Connect to Other Computer: If you want to link the connection with another computer, come up close at the end of another person’s side and ask for their UltraViewer ID. This is the non-awkward equivalent of asking for their phone number.
- Now the Password: When you enter the ID, it asks for a password. It’s something like a secret handshake to get in.
- Click “Connect”: After filling out all of this information, just hit that big Connect button and presto, you should be connected to a third-party device now. The closest thing to magic that technology can provide.
Well, Funny Fact: It’s smoother than ordering the most tasty pizza, and then things start connecting by themselves. But I swear, not a good idea for pizzas because I just know it will get cold!
Step 5: Remote Control and Working
You’re in! Now it’s time to get to work. UltraViewer always makes it easy for you to help your friends or system administrators with tech issues and access files from your home office.
Using the Remote Connection:
- You can use your mouse to click, scroll, and drag just as if you were sitting right in front of the other computer (Mouse Control).
- Transfer Files: If you ever need to exchange files, transfer them by drag-dropping them into the windows. Easy peasy!
- Change the Settings: If you wish to adjust your video resolution or other connection options, all of those are in the top menu bar. It’s similar to changing your coffee order, but much less complicated.
Fun Fact: As soon as you get remote control over other people’s computers, that wizard-casting-spells (devoid of robe and wand) mood will surround you. Still, pretty cool, right?
