Grab any VNC client (I personally use TightVNC), and on the Mac in System Preferences, Sharing, enable Screen Sharing. Set a password if you wish.

Now from your windows PC, launch TightVNC and enter the IP address of your Mac, you will be prompted for the password and past that you'll have your desktop.

Regards
