In your welcome / VPS information email you will have received an IP address (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) that you will use to

remotely access your VPS. You will use a Remote Desktop Connection utility in order to access your VPS's remote

desktop interface. Windows XP and Vista has this built in as part of Windows and Remote Desktop clients are also

freely available for Linux and MacOSX. The first thing you will need to do is configure a console remote desktop

shortcut on your personal computer. First you need to right-click anywhere that is clear on your computer desktop

and select New -> Shortcut as shown below:

button, interact with the desktop, copy/paste your applications to the desktop, etc in order to begin using your VPS.
