Anyplace Control

Anyplace Control, developed by Anyplace Control Software, offers a comprehensive solution for remote computing under the System Utilities category. The latest version, 7.7, continues to enhance the user experience by adding new features and improving compatibility. Available for multiple Windows platforms such as Windows XP, XP Professional, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11, this program can be particularly beneficial for network administrators and tech support professionals.

Anyplace Control allows users to view and interact with the remote PC's desktop right from their own screen using their mouse and keyboard, making it a versatile tool for remote technical support, presentations, and file sharing. The program excels in its ability to establish secure connections over LAN, WAN, or the Internet. With its built-in File Transfer feature, users can transfer files seamlessly between connected PCs.

To begin using the software, users need to download the 'admin module' on their main computer and the 'host module' on the computer they want to control. The program files include apc_Admin.exe, apc_host.exe, Anyplace Control.exe, AnyplaceControlInstall.exe, and apc_hostconfig.exe.

Among its advanced features, Anyplace Control allows users to restart or shut down a remote PC, disable its keyboard/mouse, and even turn it on remotely using Wake-On-LAN technology. Additionally, features like sending 'Alt+Tab' keystrokes, viewing semi-transparent windows, and making audio calls expand its utility.

There are other versions of the program available, including 7.6, 7.5, and 7.1. The software is also known by various aliases such as Anyplace Control Trial, Anyplace Control full, and Anyplace Control Full Version. It's important to note that Anyplace Control operates under a Shareware license, meaning it’s not free but offers a trial period.
