    you both need the program called team viewer 4.0 its free and lets you control his computer using mouse click.

    Download: http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx

    **NOTE** you both need this program to share desktops.

    About teamviewer..

    With TeamViewer you can remotely control any computer as if you were sitting right in front of it - even through firewalls.

    Your partner just has to start a little application which does not even require an installation or administrative rights.
