I am looking for a program that is kind of like Remote Desktop, except that doesn't log you off. The computer I plan to control is a media based computer, and I figured it would be better to be able to stash the peripherals and control it remotely from my main computer. I don't want it to log me off because I Will be using it to play video on my TV and whatnot. I would rather the program be free, otherwise I don't mind paying for a good one. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

You could try UltraVNC or TightVNC. Both free.

If you want a good HTPC application to use on that computer and controlling it with a remote or gamepad or just mouse+keyboard directly, (

The sysadmin at our college was talking about this just last night, oddly. He also recommended UltraVNC as above, and also (
