I need to be able to access the files on my PC when I'm away from the Office
using my laptop. Is there a very simple remote access solution I can use?
The PC of course is going to be unattended so nothing that requires manual
authentication such as crossloop will be any use.

This can be done by using commercial software like pcAnywhere, free software
like one of the many flavors of VNC, or by setting up a Virtual Private
Network (VPN). What you choose depends on the operating systems involved,
whether the office is on a domain, and your needs. Since you didn't give
any of those details, that's as specific as I can get. You should start by
talking to your office's IT Dept.

As noted by the others the OP really needs to check with his office IT folks
about this issue. If there is a legitimate work related need then the IT
folks can help with this issue.

If not then connecting an untrusted computer/network to the trusted office
computer/network may violate company policies.

Hi
Team viewer is actually a fancy UltraVNC that the Single Click aspect was
already done.
As usual there are few aspect that make more comfortable than the regular
UltraVNC and some aspects that I prefer to stay with VNC.
With the passage and the type of work that I do from remote I learned when
to use Windows RDT and when to use UVNC in I am happy with both.
