Why each option
To enable others to connect to a Windows 7 computer via Remote Desktop, the Remote Desktop feature must be explicitly enabled in the System Properties.
Turning on network discovery helps other computers find your computer on the network but does not enable the Remote Desktop service itself.
To allow incoming Remote Desktop connections on a Windows 7 computer, you must explicitly enable the feature by navigating to System Properties, then to the Remote tab, and selecting an option to allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop or only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication. This configures the server-side component for RDP.
Starting the Remote Desktop Connection client (mstsc.exe) allows your computer to initiate a connection to another computer, not to receive incoming connections.
Adjusting security levels in Internet Options pertains to web browser security settings and has no direct impact on enabling Remote Desktop connections.
