I recently got ssh set up so I can do stuff in powershell on my desktop from my laptop. I want to be able to start a movie on my desktop from my laptop, instead of having to reach for my wireless keyboard. I was researching how to do this with SSH, and it looks like OpenSSH no longer allows you to run the server as a user, it can only be ran as a service which doesn't have access to the desktop.

What's the best way to achieve this functionality?
