Dame ware will let you do what you want to do... take over your mom's PC from remote location. So you get to move the cursor and type on her PC from yours... you can see what she's doing, type for her, install & remove programs for her. You can probably reboot for her but you'll get cut off.
Last came across it about 4-5 years ago and it was considered a security risk then because it was buggy.
Similar capabilities from:
. Commercial software Symantec PC Anywhere
. Commercial software Carbon Copy
. Free software VNC
. Built in / addable from Microsoft for free for win2k/winXP Remote Desktop. You can find downloads for some other versions to be clients... but it's really only been in server-side software.
. Web based LogMeIn as mentioned by person above.
I use VNC to do the same job on my father's desktop in another country. But it's a bit temperamental on poor line speeds and hangs up (he has dialup).

Never heard of DameWare. But LogMeIn will do what you want and it's free. www.logmein.com
