how to change configuration settings/parameters when running winvnc server version 4 from command line?

[James Weatherall]

Yuris,

For security, the Password parameter must be specified in the obfuscated hex
form.  The easiest way to do this is to use vncconfig to save a password to
the registry, then copy the hex form of that password on to your
command-line for -register.
