That kids 101, here today I'm gonna be showing you how to use a little screen controlling software to control someone else's screen.

So first of all, what we want to do is open a program called Chicken of the VNC, which I'll link to in the description. I'll have a download link, so from here you can click like Alex Nickels' MacBook Pro or any computers enabled for screen sharing. I'll just demonstrate on this machine, and I'll connect to it right now. It has a screen saver running, but you can still control the machine and move the mouse around, etc. So that's really cool.

Another thing is Macs will automatically show up in this list right here if you enable one thing in System Preferences, which I'm going to be showing you. Open System Preferences; right here is a thing called Sharing. Just click that. First of all, you want to click the lock to make changes, and Remote Management is unchecked. Then check it, and the first time you ever check it, this thing will come down asking you to check the boxes. Just check all of the boxes and click OK to set them.

Again, click the Remote Management thing and click Options. Check all the boxes there, do whatever. Now, once you've selected Remote Management, you can click Computer Settings and make sure "VNC viewers can control the screen with the password" is checked, and then type a password you would like them to require, and then it will do that.

So now we go into Chicken of the VNC, and right there is my computer because I've enabled screen sharing. You just type my password here, and it's bad to connect to your own computer. I'll show you why. Oh no, it will keep on displaying your screen again and again and again. Luckily, my computer is fast enough that I can get out, but most of you won't be able to, so don't ever do that.

Another thing is, if you've connected to a computer and you just close this window, it might still be running, as you can see. So you want to just click the Chicken of the VNC icon down there in the dock and press Apple if you're gonna quit Chicken of the VNC.

So yeah, thanks for watching. Once again, I will have a download for Chicken of the VNC; it's a link in the description. It's only for Mac, and thanks for watching, and goodbye...
