Enable remote desktop connections seems to be missing you can see what I am talking about by looking at this screenshot. Does anyone know if I need to do something before I can enable remote desktop? Any help would be appreciated.

The various flavors of VNC (most are free) will allow this. Also, LogMeIn.com will also let you do this.

I'm having a similar problem...but I am running Windows Vista Ultimate. The remote tab was originally there but a couple of months ago the RDP stopped connecting. 2 days ago we finally realize that the remote tab is missing. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
