Weekly Windows Download – TeamViewer
OK, so I thought a decent first article here should be a really useful application. And many came to mind. But when it came down to it, I chose TeamViewer.
TeamViewer is an instant remote access solution. Its a tiny download that can run on both the host and the client without installing. The program generates a unique numeric ID and password for your computer. Entering in someone else’s ID and password grants you remote access to their computer and vice versa. In addition to being able to control the client computer, you can initiate chat and transfer files.
TeamViewer is great if you’re offering quick remote-access tech-support, client presentations or point-to-point file sharing. It can also be used to gain fast access to your own computer from the road. Though Hamachi would be a more secure choice.
Has anyone used TeamViewer or know of an alternate program they think is better? Let me know in the comments.

Sweet! I’ve been using Xampp/Apache and it’s too complicated to figure out how to..configure. I’m going to try this!
