Using LogMeIn Ignition and a USB stick to connect remotely to a PC.

Control LogMeIn
For remote access you'll probably prefer to blank the screen; if you haven't set that already you can do it remotely, along with the full range of other options. When you're connected to your remote PC you can always right-click the LogMeIn icon in the system notification area to open LogMeIn and change settings in the menu, but it's fiddly and gets in the way of the applications and documents you're trying to use. Click the Main Menu button in the Ignition software to get a separate window at the correct resolution; the only option that's not available is Guest Invite - you have to be in front of your PC to invite someone else to connect.
