Thanx
Do you mean how to do it or how does it work as a process?

Since everyone answered how to do it I'll explain it as a process.

If you noticed in windows, you can select to log off a user and log on another user or swap users while retaining state. Also when clicking ctrl+shift+esc (shortcut for task manager) you can see the active users and can switch to them. Aka you can work on your PC from touch pro2 till you get home and resume what you did when you get home. It is a form of virtualization.

edit=
Computer=the name of your pc(if on same network) or ip address or hostname
domain=usually blank
username=the user you want to log in with
password=the password to that user

It is often suggested to have a special user for RDP with limited rights
