See: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html
     section: "WinVNC - Advanced Settings"

Here's what I did on an NT4 machine to test it out:

Added registry entries (both DWORDs set to 0)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\AllowProperties
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\AllowShutdown
