Connect your Pi to your router with the RJ45 socket (preferably not 
wireless at this stage).

Download Putty SSH client to your Windows machine.

http://www.putty.org

Raspbian has an SSH server enabled by default. You need the IP address 
of you Pi which you can get by

a. connecting a TV to the Pi and watching what IP it says when it boots

Or, better,

b. bring up the web page of your modem router in your browser. I don't 
know what router you have but you can Google the IP address of the 
router. Try 192.168.1.254 for starters. You should then be able to find 
the IP of your Pi without the need to connect a TV.

Type the IP of your Pi into Putty and it should give you a User/Password 
prompt.

Once (if?) you've connected you can download a VNC server to the Pi by 
typing

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver

run it by typing

vncserver :1 -geometry 1280x800 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565

On Windows download UltraVNC

http://www.uvnc.com/

Run it and type PiIPaddress:1

into the box. PiIPaddress is the address of the Pi you got from the 
router previously. You should, after a short (10 secs) pause get the GUI 
on your windows machine'

Bonne chance
