You can do this with VNC and a VNC server is built into Mac OS X. Go to Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> Sharing --> Apple Remote Desktop and enable it. Then click on the Access Privileges button next to it and enable the option about mid-way down to allow VNC with a password. Then you can download and use something like RealVNC or TightVNC on your Windows computer to connect. Hope this helps! -- bill William M.

Thank You So Much Bill! I was thinking I could just use my windows program [remote assistance] but I am realizing now that won't work. I am assuming when we are done they need only reverse the enabling to block others from getting in their mac? DO they need to be at their computer to allow me in or do I simply need their IP?
