XP Pro includes a feature called "Remote Desktop" . Vista Premium too, if memory serves.
XP Home and Vista Basic don't, so try LogMeIn, it's free for personal use.

Well I would suggest just turning the remote feature off unless you use it. Right click my computer and go to properties then remote tab and uncheck remote assistance and remote desktop. If you do remote into your system there are things that you can do that would help keep people out. For sure have your system setup so that you have to have a password to login and also remote desktop uses port 3389 so you could just change the port it uses which isn't that complicated just a change in the registry and add that port into the windows firewall and forward the port in your router if you have one

Remote Desktop, included with Windows XP Professional, enables you to connect to your computer across the Internet from virtually any computer, Pocket PC, or Smartphone. Once connected, Remote Desktop gives you mouse and keyboard control over your computer while showing you everything that's happening on the screen. With Remote Desktop, you can leave your computer at the office without losing access to your files, applications, and e-mail. Your sales force will be able to access the latest pricing sheet from on the road by using Remote Desktop in Windows XP Professional.

Workgroups have nothing to do with Remote Desktop.
Permissions are where a lot of the problems are.

Remote Desktop is right, but there is one thing one need to make sure of - both computers must be in the same workgroup. To see (and change) what workgroup the computers are in, click on My Computer. Click on the Computer Name tab. The workgroup info is on this tab. To change the workgroups, click the Change button on the same Computer Name tab.
