HTPC connected to a LCD TV means the Windows will shown up on the screen, right ? Then are we controlling the cursor with our mouse when we tend to choose the movies etc ?

Wouldnt it be inconvenient if we are controling with mouse and keyboard ? I mean if the highest resoulution was set on the TV, the fonts etc would be too small for us to view if we are sitting at the back, isnt it. Let's say if I would like to make changes, I means setting or playing, forwarding videos etc, does that mean we have to move forward to our TV rack to move the cursor by mouse ? It isn't that practical or you guys are doing it using some other method ? I have my HT system recently but still considering either to build a HTPC or a simple HDD media player will do the job ? Thanks for your advices, will post up my set up soon. Thank You.
