When the program is called on the PC, it creates a unique ID-number for the source machine and a password (user-defined passwords can be used as well). Administrative privileges are required in order to install TeamViewer, but after it is installed, it can be run by the user with any rights in the OS.
For connection to remote PC to be completed, the application should be initiated on both computers. You may install the program via the standard installation routine, despite the special “Quick Support” release can be run without any preliminary installation. It will allow to distantly customize any program, to change parameters of the operational system and to configure the settings of the appropriate system utility, designed to emulate the proper environment or to automatically clean the obsolete registry entries, for instance. In this case the appropriate software is required for remote control of the computer, and one of such applications is free TeamViewer for Windows 8.1. It may occur, that the assistance is required for a person you know, a friend or a colleague to setup the OS environment, one of the apps or services on the PC.
