Can I use rdesktop to acces windows from linux on the same computer?

I have windows 10 and linux mint 17.3 installed on my computer (disk partitioned). I use linux the most, but I need to access some specific programs (fireworks, dreamweaver, spss, for example).

I know the option to use a vmware, but I would like to know if it is possible to just use a remote access from linus to windows, so I can use the programs and files I already have installed on windows but remaining on linux.
