I'd like to be able to control my office PC from my home PC. The problem is
that I don't have access to my office router's configuration so I can't
forward a port at my office. I read at http://sc.uvnc.com/ that I can get
around this problem with UltraVnc SC which uses a reverse connection.
However, I'm wondering if this will work for me because no one will be at my
office when I'm not there. 
The web page says: 
"no unattended service connection"
"SC is automatically and systematically unsinstalled when the connection is
closed"

Can set up the SC version to start automatically without a user intervention
at my office(sever)? Perhaps I can put the program in the Windows startup
folder, but I've read a click is required. Can I get around this? Can I
reconnect to my office computer if I have previously closed the connection? 

Basically, I'd like to be able to have VNC server automatically running on
my office PC(without forwarding a port) and available to me to connect when
I want to. Is the SC version of UltraVNC the best solution or is there a
better way?

Thank you,
Steve Smith
