I used to use logmein but switched over to teamviewer and im totally sold! I love how easy it is to remotely log into the computers and the ease of controlling who can log back into my computer with the black and white list.

Teamviewer!
Or, if you're looking for something lighter but not as feature-packed, try Chrome Remote Desktop. It's a Chrome extension.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Not sure I understand your question... you just right click, no?

Still don't know what you're talking about...

When you right click, it right clicks. When you left click, it left clicks.

He's probably asking how to right click on a phone or tablet.

BTW, Logmein gave me 6 months free for their pro service without even asking for it. Yay for me!

Lightbulb! Well, I don't have a tablet, so can't help you with that one...

Q regarding RDP: Is it secure to open to outside the office network?

RDP is secure.  But you want to make sure your router is secure when you open up the port (3389).

I'd recommend you don't use the default port, have your router forward a non-well-known-port-number to your computer's rdp port, and only allow specific IPs or IP blocks to connect to that port, otherwise you're potentially opening yourself up to intruders.

Although from a technical perspective you are 100% correct, practically speaking in a normal home-office/smb environment I disagree on the need to change the port.

How come I don't see anyone mentioning Chrome Remote Desktop? Been using it since logmein started charging.
