So I run IIS on my home machine and I was thinking it would be super useful if I could create some type of script / web page, which I could access from my home hosted web site, that could launch a program on the PC its hosted on.

This even possible to do??

Thanks!

Why wouldn't it be possible? You'd only have to prevent others from doing it too.

or use a webbased app to access your desktop remote...

i know there are some, java based for example, but can't remember they're names :S

If you have Windows 2003... I'm pretty sure that you can install a plugin that allows you to have a web based version of Remote Desktop... Does anybody know what I mean??

I was about to say the same thing, sounds like he just needs to allow Remote Desktop through his router and login.
