First off, this forum is for posting instructions on how to do stuff, not questions, so please use another forum next time.

Second: there is an application called "VNC" that you can use. It has many incarnations, and the server you need on the Mac can be found here:

Get a VNC client for your PC, and you're good to go.

You can install OSXvnc on the Mac side and use RealVNC or any other VNC client to control the Mac. Apple also has its Apple Remote Desktop, but I haven't had any experience with that yet. At the school I work at, we have a bunch of iMacs and I plan on working with Apple Remote Desktop to manage the other iMacs. I plan on getting that going tomorrow, so I will have some answers for you then...unless someone answers efore I do.
