I use a program called remotelyanywhere. It allows me to cnnect to my
computer from a remote connection. My 2 concerns are the following:

I would like to be able to access my computer without the content being
displayed on the computers screen. Example. I am at work and connected to my
computer at home. I wouldn't want someone at home to turn on the monitor and
see what I am doing. Is there a way to password protect the monitor or any
other suggestions welcome.

I would like to be able to have my computer off and turn it on remotely from
another location. Somehow I think this is possible as I have been told but am
unaware of how to do this. I think it may have something to do with the MAC
address of my ethernet card, which I don't know how to get.

Now if I am able to turn my computer on and off remotely, how can I get the
programm remotelyanywhere to start up even when I am at the windows start up
password protected user list?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
If the home PC is running XP Pro then Remote Desktop will do that, ie. it
will lock the display while your using it from a remote site...

There is only one problem with this solution. If someone at home decided to
login, and you were doing something. If the profile they are logging into is
the same one your currently connected to, they will close you out, and then
see everything you were doing because it will leave them at the last place
when you were disconnected.

I think if you make sure they have there own profile, and don't know your
password that will work.

Someone at home could not log in because the computer is locked while the
remote user is connected.
