Glo, You do install the software on the PC you want to access from elsewhere, so you need to install it on your work PC. This will put a LogMeIn icon in your system tray near the time. Hmm, maybe this will help: 1) Go to www.logmein.com and register for an account. Its mostly just email address (which is also what you use to login) and password. Its easiest to register the first time on a PC you want to access remotely because the first time registering that email address automatically brings you to installing the software. 2) If you need to install the software on another PC, then go to that PC, sign-in at www.logmein.com, click the "Add Computer" link on the right side, and follow the directions. 3) To access one of your PC's from elsewhere, sign-in at www.logmein.com , click the computer name in the list, and click "Remote Control". The first time you access another PC by clicking on its computer name, IE will need to install an ActiveX control (and FireFox installs an addon). Also, at some point it will ask for a login name and password, which is a valid username and password for the PC you are trying to access (your work PC).

Right now I did a search and what it came up with is 3 txt files of 1KB each and 3 cookies. I did 'select all' and delete, and it wouldn't delete. The error msg says Cannot delete file. Cannot read from the source file or disk. So then I deleted each line item one by one, so now it's all gone. It is nowhere else in my machine. Now I'll try it again, but what I need to know is this: when it asks for my email addy, that's my computer I'm on now. Then do I have to install it on my work computer too in order to access it? I hope I'm being clear, what I want to do is access my work computer from home, am not too concerned about accessing home from work. I'll wait for your reply before I d/l the app (or is it a program, what's the diff?)
