Control Your PC Via Remote Control

Hi All ,
This is another project I made and want to share.

Description :
with the help of this project you can control your PC via a remote control (any remote control , e.g. you TV remote). Controlling the PC means you can open and close programs , Increase or decrease the Volume , showing your powerpoint presentations , switching between songs and movies .... etc, all while you are away from your PC (using your remote).
You can program the remote buttons as you want to do any selected task.

Idea:
using an infrared receiver and program the signals received from it.
the circuit connected to the PC via serial port.
