The application is called remote desktop, and it is NOT included in all
versions of Windows, only XP Pro had it, not Home Edition, and I believe
only Vista Business and Ultimate have it, but don't quote me on it. If you
mom purchased her PC at a retail store, she likely (but not definitely) has
Vista Home Premium, in which case you cannot use remote desktop.
