On NT, using 3.3.3 it does. On 95 not? Did you try?

Hmmm.  "winvnc -remove" _does_ _try_ to stop any running instance before
removing the service.  If I remember correctly, under Win95 it uses the same
technique as -kill, so obviously it won't work!

I'm not sure what the solution here is - if -remove is altered to bypass the
AllowShutdown restriction then people could use it as a loophole.  (You
can't do that under NT because -remove uses the service control manager to
kill the service)

So the answer is that it's a case I'd not considered.  Short of changing the
registry entry, rebooting remotely and  then stopping it, I'm not sure what
to suggest.

Sorry...
