Install logmeinfree on both PCs. On the pc you want to access, install it whilst you're over there, register, then you need to disable it and basically add it to your computers list, enable it, then you can access it whenever the other pc is connected to the internet. I have it installed on 6 pcs now, for family and friends. You need to open Log mein on your pc, by entering email address and a password, then when you choose the pc you want to connect to, you need to input an access code - I just have a really long password that only I know.
