So using a client like Ultra VNC or even Tight VNC it really makes life simple, for example a while back a community member of UVNC developed a great mod which is basicall a one click VNC server, so you can send a exe to your friend thats having computer trouble he runs it and pop you get screen showing their desktop brilliant right, saves you a lot trouble, and its a great way to avoid security issues with windows remote desktop, you will find these applications are much more secure as its not running constantly its a one off thing they open it and you close it.
