start ktorrent remotely through ssh w/o X [solved already!]

Sometimes I leave for work having forgotten to start ktorrent, and I'd like to start it remotely from work. I've got ssh set up to access files with Putty, I can run console applications, but have not figured out how to start a graphic app remotely and have it displayed remotely. Most of everything I've found describes how to forward X. I don't want to install an X server on Win7, just want to start the program to run at home and I can access it through the ktorrent WebUI. So, do I still need to configure the XForwarding and/or set the display or how is this done?
