go to TeamViewer and scroll down to TeamViewer Portable. Free for personal use. I have not tried it. I #feel# certain you will have to register.

TeamViewer gets a lot of reccomendations in this thread:
Easy Remote access to another PC?

For personal use you don't have to register TeamViewer (though I must admit I haven't tried the portable version).

You can also use TeamViewer through a webpage - just sign up for a free account and then get the remote computer to download and run the Quick Support module (small download - doesn't need installing, you can download it straight from TeamViewers home page - just click Join Remote Control Session).

This thread is very interesting to me. I mainly use BeamYourScreen (aka Join Session, aka Mikogo) and it's pretty good, except that there's no VOIP which I could really use.

The main issue with other desktop shares (from my point of view) and why I have stayed with BYS despite the expense, is that there's no way for a participant to show you where they are pointing with their mouse. In BYS, if Fred and Joe are viewing my screen, and Fred clicks somewhere, I see a big arrow marked 'Fred' so I know where he's pointing. It's amazingly useful.

Does anyone know of other services that support this seemingly simple but essential feature?
