Yes, certainly there is a way since I do it all the time. One password is set under HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default and none anywhere else. And to stop it from happening in the future, do not allow the user to set a password. Do not have any passwords for VNC under HKEY_USERS at all.
Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Floyd Russell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 6:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Password Shift Not that I'm aware of.
