Yeah, I am a little confused. The movies are on A, but you want to play then on B? Then just share the folder on A with B. On B connect to the folder (map the drive) and start the Media Player on B, selecting the movie from the mapped drive on A. It is possible but probably will not work very well. A movie sends alot of data over the network connection and the movie may be jerky or stop and start, while waiting on data. Better choices: copy the movie to B, copy the movie to external media(DVD, hard drive, etc). But if you're saying the movies are on B and will be played on B, then A won't have anything to do with the process. You see I'm still confused. Maybe some more info. Both of the products mentioned above will allow remote control of another computer, but is that what you are really trying to do? I do not understand "with the help of computer A".
OK - I'm just a little slow - VNC is probably the answer - free, not hard to set up. RealVNC has a free version that should work. TightVNC is free and includes more options - use the one that is the easiest for you, the differences between the two will not make any difference in your configuration. Good Luck

U can use TightVNC as the first answer shows or use Microsoft "DeskTop Assitance".
If u are not comfortable with anyone of these try to check in www.gotomypc.com...its very good and u can access ur PC from any place (if they are connected together by internet).
TightVNC is light and easy tool---80% Votes for this.
DeskTop Assistance -- 50% (a little diffucult to access)
GoToMyPc.com -- 100% (got lots of options) Unfortunatly this is free for limited time..after that u have to purchase the time...:))
Thanks

Check out TightVNC or there are some remote control apps for Windows Media PLayer.

Yes, it is possible. I wouldn't know how to do it, but by reconfiguring information or the inner parts of the computer, you could get a microsoft software into an apple drive software. To find out more, talk to a proffesional in computer software rewrite.

Simply share your files from Computer B and open them in Computer A...

there used to be a program by symantec called "PC Anywhere" that would allow you to do that. It has been several years since I have used it, but I am sure they may have something improved these days... Good luck
