If you have a running vnc-connection, you can save the connection 
settings. If you cannot find the menu, try the right mouse button on the 
(top) border of the vnc-viewer window.

While saving, do that to a file with a .vnc extention. You will be asked 
to save the password in the file, just do that. If that does not work, 
you can also create a shortcut to the vnc-viewer application and in 
there add the right option an the (encrypted?) password. Use 
`vncviewer.exe /?` to see the options.


Be noted, that is for the password for the vnc-session. If in the 
vnc-session an other login box appears, you have to see with that OS (or 
tool) to auto-login. For M$Windows, have a look at the tools at 
www.systeminternals.com.
