But I use WinXP, I can't guarantee it works with later versions of Windows...

Ya, I tried RealVNC first actually, but I couldn't get it configured correctly (couldn't login from the network, which I could do from the beginning with TightVNC).

Actually, there is an option to run TightVNC as a service, but I am not able to log in without the server program already running, so imo it defeats the purpose. (unless I'm doing something wrong, which is very possible.)

You mean you can have the windows user account logged out, then log into it with RealVNC? Interesting....

///EDIT
I'm looking into this. Update possibly in the near future,
