HTPC software to browse web/play games

[izzikio_rage]

Hello everyone
I've made a setup where i can connect my laptop to my HDTV (hdmi) and home theater speaker system. I also have a wireless keyboard and mouse for this. I'm running win 7

My problem is operating this from a distance. At HDTV resolution all text and icons are too small to operate from a distance. I end up using the magnifier to use the web or open up games. Is there a software available that can allow me to see my drives/browse the web without the magnifier. Something like the media centers that people use in HTPCs

Help
