Whoops, I told you to set the wrong key on two counts. That key *should*
have the 'p' in it. However, AllowLoopback is the correct key; the one I
gave you is for when you've patched the WinVNC program with my loopback
connections only patch. I'm pretty sure the path to the key is correct;
this is all documented at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html
if you want to double check.

Thanks for catching the typo; I'll change the file that contains it.

One last thing - you change this key on the *server* side; the side that
runs WinVNC and shows the VNC icon in the system tray.
