1. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules for execution on a computer comprising:
- a user interface module for displaying first and second icons, each of the first icons associated with application data, each of the second icons associated with a corresponding networked resource;
a cursor control module for selecting and moving at least one of the first icons;
an application streaming module for creating streaming data corresponding to at least one of the first icons; and
a peer-to-peer network module for directing the streaming data to the networked resource associated with one of the second icons, wherein the cursor control module is used to select at least one of the first icons and move it to at least one of the second icons, thereby activating the application module to create streaming data corresponding to the selected first icon and activating the peer-to-peer network module to direct the streaming data to the network resource associated with the at least one of the second icons.

Abstract
A drag-and-drop user interface facilitates the selection and presentation of data to meeting participants from one of the peers in a peer-to-peer network. First icons associated with data for presentation may be dragged onto second icons associated with networked resources such as computers associated with meeting participants or other networked resources such as projectors. The data may be streamed from the presenter'"'"'s computer to the networked resource over peer-to-peer network facilities such as a terminal services session.

8. In a computer system having a graphical user interface including a display and a user interface selection device, a method for activating a peer-to-peer network session comprising:
-
presenting data from the computer system to a networked resource, the computer system presenting a first icon corresponding to the data and a second icon corresponding to the networked resource;
monitoring selection of the first icon;
monitoring dragging and dropping of the selected first icon onto the second icon;
activating an application program associated with the selected first icon responsive to selection of the first icon and subsequent dragging and dropping of the selected first icon onto the second icon;
identifying a process corresponding to the application program;
creating a data stream comprising output from the process; and
transmitting the data stream to the networked resource associated with the second icon. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer adapted for sharing data between the computer and a remote resource comprising:
-
a display and display controller adapted for presentation of a plurality of first icons, each of the plurality of first icons associated with data and a plurality of second icons associated with networked resources;
a network adapter for transmitting data over a peer-to-peer network; and
a processor programmed for;
receiving input from a cursor control device;
determining when at least one of the plurality of first icons is dragged and dropped on at least one of the plurality of second icons;
activating at least one application program associated with the at least one of the plurality of first icons;
directing a data stream associated with the data and the application program via the network adapter to a peer-to-peer network for display at a networked resource associated with the at least one of the plurality of second icons. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
