Maybe the folks at real vnc could entertain adding this as a feature. It may already be on their wish-list, I don't know... -Gary No. There is no way to do what you want on Windows. Remote Desktop creates a new "virtual desktop" much the way that Unix/Linux does. VNC simply displays the existing desktop remotely (for Microsoft Windows products.) This is pretty much a FAQ and probably ought to be in the FAQs if it's not. :-) John -----Original Message----- From: vnc-list-admin "at" realvnc.com [mailto:vnc-list-admin "at" realvnc.com]On Behalf Of Scott Genevish Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 8:27 PM To: Scott Genevish Cc: vnc-list "at" realvnc.com Subject: Re: Locking the server's display Does anyone know the answer for this?
