Windows Remote Desktop is a huge timesaver; but you can't always be connecting from a PC with the Remote Desktop Client already installed. What to do? You follow the direction in this article on how to set up Set Up Remote Desktop Web Connection with Windows XP; then you just point your clients Internet Explorer to your PC's Remote Desktop TS web page.
