Remote Control Solutions for Windows 7 Clients

I used to be able to log on to a local subnet and launch an icon that bought up a prompt to enter a machine name and Remote Assistance would launch and allow you to control Windows XP machines. Took a bit of tweaking but it was really quite simple.

What is the equivalent in Windows 2008/Windows 7. What is the best method to remote to Windows 7 computers to control or shadow the user's screen without logging off or without sending an email for assistance, etc.

Install logmein.com.  Or send them the file from teamviewer.com

Both are free.  Both are awesome.

I would suggest using VNC, have a look at http://www.bozteck.com/vncscan/ if this is just on a local network.
I believe the question should be closed differently. I believe I answered the question the asker was asking fully and correctly given the information the asker supplied.  I believe I should be awarded the points.
I agree that QuietFrank should be awarded the points, unless OxygenITSolutions has commented otherwise.
