Ever needed to connect to a computer for a second to show something really quick but were having trouble walking anyone in your family through the screens.  I typically use VNC to connect and manage the computer but the biggest problem with VNC is that you need to go to the router tables and bounce the correct ports to the correct computer.  If you know anyone i my family that is almost impossible to explain.  That is where this tool comes in handy.

This is great you just have them go to the ShowMyPC website click the first file to download, have them open the file accept any firewall changes and have them share out the PC.  Then take the password and put it into your copy as view remote PC and you are in.  It is not the fastest or prettiest connection to remote machine but easy to get going and gets a long discussion over quickly.  And it is free.  I have also attached the file to this post.
