Requesting Windows remote assistance via a button

Question

Hi

I want to make a simple application on Windows XP with a single button which says "Help" - that will launch Windows Messenger's Remote Assistance and connect to my MSN Messenger ID - this is detailed here: (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/remoteassist/viaim.mspx)

This is for my Dad or Mom who sometimes get confused when the Firefox UI resets itself or something other similarly catastrophic happens

I am familiar with the Windows programming model but am unsure on how to go about it - I would like to do this in C# or even VB.net

Thanks very much
