If you are thinking about turning on Remote Desktop access on your Windows PC, that is a little different. By turning it on, you are giving someone else the opportunity to access your PC remotely. Making sure you have a very good login/password scheme will help from people breaking in, but normally you do not want Remote Desktop turned on unless you know the people that would access it.
