I have heard that I can control PC applications via Infrared remote controller. It would be really nice to start a movie and then be able to pause it without having to stand up and mess with the player. It is also cool when you are listening music and you are able to lower the volume or stop music. Can you explain to me what do I need to do to enable infrared PC Remote Control?

You will need few things. First of all you will need software that can interpret signals from remote controller to signals computer can understand. One of the best is WInLirc. Second you will need infrared adapter for your PC. You can find some very cheap ones that connect over USB port and you will need, of course, remote controller. All settings are made in WinLirc settings and they have very extensive manual on their web site.
