Will Remote Desktop work for this?

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of something that will allow someone else to connect to my computer remotely and view the same screen I'm seeing... Sort of like a webex connection. I'm wanting to do share some web browsing with someone without having to give them passwords or access to the site.

I've seen a few applications that do this, but most cost money. Can Remote Desktop provide a "Read Only" view of the desktop? Thanks.

Thanks. I'll have to read up and start playing around with it. All my experience with remote connections has been with ssh and remote java consoles... I only have a couple of Windows servers I run, so I've not had to do much with this stuff.
