Remote Execute enables you to execute command, run program or open other files on remote computers. For example, start the Messenger Service or just play an MP3 song on one remote computer. If the LanHelper Integrated Command is used in Remote Execute, you can even make the remote system log off, power off, hibernate, stand by or locked. Send Message sends messages to users, computers, workgroups, or the whole LAN in a flexible way. Refresh Status examines whether the computer is online or not, and detects whether computer name or IP address has been modified or not at the same time.

Even without LanHelper, the saved XML file can be browsed by browser such as Internet Explorer (IE) or opened by other programs such as MS Office 2002 that support XML. When opening the XML file in browser, the file LHstyle.xsl writing in eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) will transform the XML file to HTML table, which is more convenient for reading.
