Thumbs up Remote Support System - Free and User Friendly
I am always needing to fix my parents PC and over the phone is difficult at best as you may already know. Trying to configure my PC to connect to theirs with what is available in XP is anything but user friendly.
So check out this program. Completely free for non-commercial use. It will create in .exe file to put on your web site if you have one. The person with the "need" can run it and it will automatically send you a message and you can accept the connection and begin right away. For those amateurs that want to start charging for some of your time it will automatically create an invoice and send to said party with time spent and per minute rate.

Program look s great. I will feedback after I have used http://www.remotesupportsystem.com/

The website description seems really cool, the part about no remote configuration certainly strikes a responsive note!

Amazing
I just recently found my favorite freeware program, ever!

If you have ever seen the object bars on Apple computers, the nifty pretty bars that take place of a windows start bar, and you can run all your programs from it.. well this is the same but for Windows!

"ObjectDock is a program that lets you organize your short-cuts and running tasks onto an extremely customizable dock that sits on your desktop."
