There are loads of remote desktop solutions out there, no need for Win
Remote Desktop.

VNC is very good, but you'll need to open ports on your firewall for
it.


Yeah I know (in fact use VNC) but I had fussing baby in in arm and was
writing one handed and gave up there. :-)

Problem I had was that I hadn't preinstalled any sort of remote desktop
before hand, and try as I might, my Mum couldn't managed to get it
installed and running.
