How to connect to other PC through INTERNET???

[: SPiRiT :]

Hey... is it possible that i can "SEE, BROWSE,USE and RUN programs on another person's PC through INTERNET!!!" With the PERMISSION of the user of the other PC... its kind of providing remote help.. by actually connecting to the other PC... this is because.. my friend got lots of pics on his PC... and the idiot such a dummy that he doesnt know how to resize(reduce dimesions to reduce the KBs) the pics to be sent through mail... so i thouight if i cud see the pics on his PC and then edit them on his PC and then send it to my comp..... Is this LEGALLY possible cause the person actually invited me to do that...PLs help....
PS. i believe HACKING is having an UNAUTHORISED access to another PC. am very well authorized coz i very well know the person(both of us use Windows XP Pro)

hey! dude its illegal but if you want it then you can do something by Remote Assistance .

Hey i think there is something like VPN [virtual private network].

[nach p]

VNC is the software (VIRTUAL NETWORK COMPUTER).It allows you to access the pc but with its owners permission only i.e asks configured passwored.
You can edit pics and mail it .But dont do any other without any permission.

Moderators if this post is illegal then plese edit or delete this. :? :?

Hey.. thanx... But i think Windows Xp it self has some kind of such programs... when i have a look at the Services.msc one can find a service called REMOTE REGISTRY...(I think i gives access to the REGISTRY ITSELF) So i dont think i'll be doing any thing ILLEGAL....And the System PROPERTIES Has a TAB that gives referance to some remote assiatance settings.... but i dunno how to use them... through the internet that is...

I even read on the net that the ISP's consider any kind of such connection as ILLEGAL... i think i understood it vaguely.. but pls help...
And use other softwares... require the software to be installed on both the machines. Isnt IT???
