You could use some remote admin program, but this will need to be physically installed on the machine. Unless you both have XP Pro, doing it with only default Windows won't be easy.

But to be honest, messing around with other isn't exactly nice. Your sister may think her laptop is broken and you might be paying for a new one.

The answer is yes. It's VERY easy!!!!

But I won't say how, as It appears that the power will not be used for good.

Ash is totally right, don't go looking for problems, they will be found, and you may not always be able to solve them.
