Thank you sir! That did the trick. I am ashamed actually. As an experienced user since Windows 3.11, I was still looking for the option in the app and not using the control panel. Thank you for reminding me!!
EDIT: Not out of the woods yet. After trying to control my Windows 7 laptop with Avast! Free 8.0.1489 from my Windows XP desktop with Avast! Free 8.0.1483, the desktop Avast just froze up when I clicked connect. Sigh. I saw something about that here somewhere. Time for more research.
