But if you want a special user account, its just like any other user account, control panel. Also if you have a router or firewall you'll have to set port forwarding on the router.

Hi, I tried at home to access my work PC last night: Programs -> Accessories -> Remote Desktop Connection After entering the IP of my work PC and enter the username. This username is the one when I back to office to login my PC. However, the connection is failed. Any idea?

The port/router issue is probably central to this issue. So far you haven't told us anything about your overall setup, i.e. whether you use a VPN or whether you use Remote Desktop in direct access mode. These are probably things that you should discuss with your network administrator.

He said I use remote desktop to access my work PC from home using the same login as my work PC login.

Here are a few things I would check: - Does the VPN work? - Can you ping the office PC? - Can you telnet to your office PC on the RDP port? - What are the router's firewall settings? - Does RDP work when launched on the internal network? Since you have a network administrator, he would be the first person you should ask for help. He knows far more about your system than we do.
