If you would like to set this up on a computer that you access frequently from a remote location, ex: accessing home computer from work, set up a permanent password like this and keep the remote machine turned on.
Go into Extras > Options and General Tab to set up a permanent password, you can also set up Team Viewer to start up when windows start so that it is always active.
Team Viewer can also be used for remote file transfer and presentation.
Enjoy.
