Step Five: Choose what local resources will be accessible to the remote desktop.
(If you check Clipboard you are just allowing access to be able to use copy and paste from your computer to the remote desktop, if you check Printer you are also allowing the remote desktop access to be able to use the printer that it connected to your computer. You can select whichever you want).
