If you're home computer is running XP Professional then you can
access it using the Remote Desktop feature. Here are a couple
of articles that you might want to look at for more info on
that subject:

If you're home computer is running XP Home Edition then you
might want to look into one of the various VNC programs. Here's
one I've had success using:

UltraVNC

Ultr@VNC - Installation, and Settings

Keep in mind that both of these options get a lot more
complicated if the machines are behind a router and/or
firewall.

Good luck
