I'll try and make this short and to the point.

I am going traveling so have purchased a laptop. I have copied all my important documents from my home PC to my laptop and also an external harddrive.
If I suddenly realize I need a file on my home PC while I am half way across the world, what is the best software to use to remote control my home PC over the internet?

Turning the PC on and off will be fine as someone will be home. I could set team viewer to start up on start up - Is TeamViewer free?
