LinkToMyPc

If you forgot to do something on your home or office computer, LinkToMyPc can help you fix anything without you needing to be in front of the machine. Despite its simplicity, it is a highly efficient and secure remote control utility. It is capable of establishing a connection to a remote computer in a matter of moments and it gives you full control over the machine, as if you were right in front of it. The best part is that everything, from installing the application to assuming control of a computer, can be done with nothing more than a few clicks and without specifying any IPs, DNS addresses or other related details.

LinkToMyPc is available in free and paid versions and it is compatible with numerous Windows editions. The installation package contains a client module, as well as a viewer. The client module has to be installed on the host computer (the one you wish to control remotely), while the viewer, which is optional, should be installed on a machine from which you want to control other computers. What's more, the client module is compatible with more Windows versions, all the way to Win 95.

The principle behind LinkToMyPc is quite simple. You can install the client module on as many computers as you want and control them remotely through a single online account, with the viewer module. Once you install the client, you have to specify your LinkToMyPc user ID and password to link the computer to your account. This is all you need to do in order to control a computer remotely.

When you run the viewer and log into your account, you will find all your linked computers listed on the viewer's compact user interface, along with options for editing some of their details and for connecting to them. Once a connection is established, the remote computer's desktop will show up on a different window, on which you will be able to work on that machine as if you were right in front of it.

LinkToMyPc provides you with everything you would expect from a remote control utility. This includes an integrated chat system, a file transfer feature and more. The software allows you to make various tweaks on both ends, to increase the connection's performance. Besides controlling your own computers, you can invite other people to control them, via email or accept invitations to control another user's machine.
