As mentioned, full Remote Desktop is found in Business editions.
But, to provide help, you can connect remotely using Remote Assistance. In
the Start Search box, type "remote assistance" to bring up the tool, then
she will "Invite someone to help".
When you've made the connection, you the helper will have a toolbar item
that allows you to ask to take control. There you go.

I understand XP comes with a built-in prog to connect to a remote pc,
making it unnecessary to purchase a program like PC Anywhere.. how
about Vista? does it have a such a program built-in? I assume it
does, but not sure.. (I need this to help my mom with some stuff, do a
sort of remote 'tech-support'....
but do NOT want to network with her
computer, just connect to it with a prog similar to PC Anywhere..)
thank you
