I see that LogMeIn have just announced that they are withdrawing
access to their free remote-access accounts and LogMeIn will
become subscription-only. Does anyone know of other products that
provide free remote access so one PC can access the desktop of
another in another location. I don't need anything fancy like the
ability to hear the sound from the remote PC or to be able to
transfer files or to send print jobs to a printer on the remote
PC. I just need to be able to see the desktop so I can (for
instance) set up recordings on Windows Media on the remote PC
while I'm away from home, or access emails that exist only on the
remote PC. All the things that I could do using LogMeIn Free.

I use Teamviewer too.

You don't say which version of Windows you have, but some versions
include a remote desktop program from MS.


I believe I used the MS one too plus many others as well. What I hated
about all of them was the one sending the desktop to the other machine
was busting its butt. Meaning it hits the CPU very hard and some
machines could be in danger of overheating.
