Apple Remote on Windows.

I bought a universal iPhone/iPod Dock, with a IR Receiver, and it comes with a remote. I need a driver for the receiver, if possible, on windows, so I can get the remote to do stuff on my PC. At the moment it's only talking to my iPhone when it's in the dock.

Anyone done this? Surely as it's a IR Receiver I can do something..

i've only managed to use vlc and vlc remote successfully with iphone and pc. did try ir in the past but it was a lot of hassle and really hard to get them to work

iPhone talking to PC is not a problem.. However, I want to use the universal remote IR receiver, and get the remote talking to it. :o
