Not using Win2000 nor 3.3.3R7, but 3 points that may apply:

1-You need to set this on the client computer, not the server...

2-The registry setting is not
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORL\VNCviewer\Settings\SkipFullScreenPrompt
which would be a registry "folder" by itself, but it is inside
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORL\VNCviewer\Settings\
where you then create the "SkipFullScreenPrompt" value

3-Be sure to create is using "New DWORD value", not as new String

You can also enable it by saving the text below (w/o the dotted lines)
into a foo.reg file and then double-click it:

............................................................
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORL\VNCviewer\Settings]
"SkipFullScreenPrompt"=dword:00000001

............................................................

Be sure to keep the blank line at the end of the file!

Now, maybe it is *really* a 3.3.3R7 bug...
