Connecting to another PC.

[capsulecorpjx]

I want to remotely control another computer over the internet.
My father is not too good at debugging his computer, and I would like this ability to fix his problems for him, since he's a few thousand miles away.

Anyway, can this be done with Windows XP Home? If not can it be done with Windows XP Professoinal?

Anyone know of a good online guide to this?

Also is it safe? I don't want a hacker using whatever service that needs to be activated to take control of said computer.
