How do you save/remember passwords in Real VNC so that you don't have to type one in each time you connect?

[Bill Chubb]

To endorse what John has said...

Connect to the remote computer with IP address and password.
Once connected, press function key F8 and click "Options"
Click "Load / Save"
Click "Save As"
Choose a name which suits you and click "Save"
At the VNC Viewer : Warning about storing the password, click "Yes".

This will put a shortcut on your desktop.

Kind regards
 
Bill

Right-click on the active window and select "properties" and then
there will be an option to save a shortcut, IIRC. I'm runnig linux
right now, so I can't say for sure.
