How to view other pc through network(LAN)

[da_grat1]

I wonder if could learn how to view someone's pc through network without using VNC. As I know we cannot view someone's pc if the person didn't install the vnc in his/her pc. But I believe there is another method to view it. Because one of my frens managed to view my pc even though i have uninstalled my vnc.. Last time i was not interested to know about this, now i want to know how he did that, but he was no longer working here.. i wonder if someone knows how to do that and teach me the method, and is there any program need to install other than vnc?..
I wonder if the master of networking will be able to reply my message..

You can map a drive to any PC that you have rights to on a LAN.

I think mapping drive is different.. Normally I use the mapping method when i need to share files or transfer files from one pc to another pc..
I now planning to view the other pc.. how is it possible without using vnc..?
is there a way to do it?

Remote Desktop

Other than remote desktop? because if the user from other pc disable the remote desktop, the pc still cannot be viewed.. for example, lets say if person A disabled the remote desktop from his/her pc, that means person B definetely cannot access Person's A pc... that is true isn;t?
Then, is there any other method?
If I know how to disable my pc from being viewed .. i am very happy already .. hahaha..
