This setting was added to Windows Vista SP1 specifically to enable Remote Assistance. It allows certain applications stored in secure folders, such as system32, to bypass the secure desktop so that they can function as designed. Enabling this setting will lower security slightly but enable Remote Assistance. For more information see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd835564(WS.10).aspx.
