Hi,
VNC the way to go! That is how I am fixing my families XP's on the east
coast from CA.
It comes with FC4. All your dad has to do is download the windows
version(it's FREE) and install it.
It works for me great! Highly recommended.

Note that vnc by itself is not secure. It does not provide an
encrypted
connection so any passwords and data sent over it are in the clear.
I have used ssh to tunnel vnc but only between two linux systems. It
should be possible to do something similar with windows. Would have
to
look at putty to see if it can listen for incoming ssh connections and
setup the remote end of the tunnel for this. Again I have used putty
to
setup ssh tunnels from windows systems to linux systems but not the
other direction.
The other option would be to install cygwin on the windows box. Then
you should be able to setup an encrypted tunnel using ssh with that.

Openssh is pretty easy to setup with cygwin. I have been using that to
pull rsync backups from a Windows XP Pro box.
