Remote desktop viewing/controling

[Jaged]

Is there anyway to remotly view the desktop (and remotly control if possible.) of a windows xp home edition computer from another xp home edition? Everything I have found so far requires win XP pro.

I know there are good freeware programs out there. The name of the one that I used once escpaes me though.

Well, Windows XP comes with the Remote Assitance thing, but I much prefer RealVNC.

Or right click my computer, properties then remote then click remote desktop.

Or, install a passworded remote access trojan on your own computer, and control it via the client. Just make sure you have it passworded so that somebody else can't access it.

Thanks, that looks good. One more thing though. Extra points for anyone who can find something that does the same thing but allows me to controll it from a OSX mac.

Send me the mac, and I'll remote control to accidently "fall" off the side of a bridge.
