Correct.
You have either the choice connecting from remote or running
a GUI application on the remote computer display (access the desktop).
And, this is an exclusive or meaning that choose one or the other
but not both.
Welcome to NT !
Remote sessions with redirected GUI output to your local display
ise not possible because there is no network
protocol for Windows messages (except the Terminal server edition).

If you really want remote control or access, i.e. running
a GUI application on the remote computer and have the display
of the remote computer shown on your local computer use:
PC-Anywhere ($$$)
IBM Netfinity
or
VNC (resource hog on Windows) - someone mentioned this already.
