I would use (or do use) Remote desktop for this type of task. I'm surprised, but while I see regular scans on FTP and SSH ports...I never see 3389.

Windows version has an impact on the viability of remote desktop. XP Home cannot be a host, for example.
 
TightVNC is an alternative. It's slower than windows remote desktop, though.
