I want to be able to remote desktop into my home PC to access files. I carry around a 16 gig USB key but occasionally I want a file that I don’t have with me or I want to make sure I have the most recent version of the file which may not be the one on the USB key.

For that task, I've recently begun using Dropbox. It works quite well.

If you’re using Windows 7, you might want to take a look a WinRM. It enables you to access a remote Powershell session on one or more target machines. There should be considerably less bandwidth overhead than a full rdp session, and it runs over HTTPS, which makes firewall configuration much easier. You can further secure by configuring the remote session to require a certificate based authentication.
