VNC-List digest, Vol 1 #48 - 25 msgs

[Neil Devlin]

Hi,
  I was thinking of changing the source code, to avoid the icon appearing
and have the server to automatically startup when the computer is switched
on.
Ill have to have a look through the source code.

thanks
Neil

"Hi
I've just downloaded VNC and want to compile it for the windows
environment. Just a couple of questions if anyone can please answer
them?

1.. Is is possible to just have the server come up without any icons
within
the tray?

2.. How reliable is VNC, on all platforms?
3.. When operating, how much processor time does it take up?
thanks
Neil"

To answer question #1.  I have found it extremely difficult to remove
the icon in Win95/98 but in W2K and XP it is very easy.  All you have to
do is go to the registry and remove the following key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\WinVNC

This removes it from running on startup, which is not a problem as long
as you install the VNC service.  Since Win95/98 doesn't have a service
per-say, removing this key does no good.  You would have to go to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER level and remove the same key, but that prevents it
from running at start-up.  I hope that this helps.
