Elke, The problem is that you are reading the documentation for VNC 3 and the AllowProperties setting, even though you are actually running VNC 4, which doesn't need that option. The VNC 4 documentation is at http://www.realvnc.com/v4. Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. _

I think under NT4, 2000, XP, etc... when you install the server then the option to close the server service is not there and if the logged in user does not have administrative privileges then the user can't stop the VNC server service thus can't shut off the VNC server. At 17:48 31/03/2004, E.
