Hi all,

I have a Mac Mini in my room and a Windows laptop. I got Screen Sharing to work by using a VNC client on the laptop to log into the Mac, but I noticed that when doing so the Mac would be logged on and everything I was doing remotely was also visible on the Mini's monitor. When I'm away from the Mac, I usually go to the login screen so that the computer isn't tampered with while I'm gone (similar to locking the screen in Windows).

Is there a way to do Screen Sharing in a way that keeps the Mac on the login screen locally while allowing me to work remotely from the PC?
