" Set up a VNC server on his machine, then set up the VNC client on yours." Sounds tricky. Is it?

Set up a VNC server on his machine, then set up the VNC client on yours. You can "log on" to your child's machine and literally see whatever he is seeing. Thus you see the keystrokes as he types them, mouse movements and clicks, programs opening and closing etc. If the child is not using the machine, you can "remote control" the machine to look at what programs are open etc. Whenever the machine is being remotely monitored an icon in the lower right of the tool tray turns a different color. That is the only indication, unless you try to move the mouse or type on the keyboard. John W.

Just to know what programs he's running at the moment.

There are things available to do it though, Dameware NT Utilities does it, or you can just remote desktop it and do it like that.
