Hi Folks - sorry to bother you but I'm wondering if someone could advise me
.....

Did I dream it or is there some software (possibly already built in to
Vista) that would enable me to control my PC remotely?

My problem is that I have recently become disabled and sitting at my PC in
my office is not doing my back any good at all: I've been told to avoid
using my office type chair. I'm thinking of getting a laptop which I could
use in the room next door (my lounge) - the laptop could 'talk' to the rest
of my setup via my wireless router. However, I'm not keen on using the
laptop for anything other than remotely controlling my PC - if, indeed,
that's possible: hopefully, the laptop could show my Pc's desktop and I
could operate the laptop just as though I were sitting at my PC.

Cheers,
John (IDontBelieveIt)

Hi "CoLdFuSiOn"

Many thanks - I thought there might well be something that could provide
the facility I need. I'd follow that up straight away were it not for a
slight worry I have - i.e. if I'm going through a website, might my
security be compromised?
