Remember them :-) I would like to set up similar for a couple of friends
who are numpties but I have forgotten how.
Can anyone point me to a step by step guide. Will be using XP and messenger
or whatever is best.

If you use Windows Live Messenger at each end then the other person can
send you a remote assistance request - that would allow you to take over
their PC. It may be easier than trying to set up Net Meeting.

I agree that WLM is better than Netmeeting and Remote Assistance works fine
in it. It also works well between XP and Vista, something that Netmeeting
cannot do.
