Hi
This type of operation is Not done by the network sharing.
It is the function of Remote Control.
Remote control can be done by using Windows XP Pro Remote Desktop.

Or (depending on the exact features that you need) by a free 3rd party
application like this.

Copy the desktop between the two (make the desktop be the same on both
when not directly connect to each other?)

Or, be able to use the laptop's desktop screen from the other
computers?

I want to be able to use the laptop's desktop screen from the other
