remote desktop has the useful functionality of locking or hiding the screen
at the remote computer.
so a)Only you control it - it is not shared b)the other user cannot see
the screen - unless of course he logs in as you.
Can realvnc hide/blacken the screen at the remote end?
I guess realvnc is rather traditional. if not realvnc, then any particular
flavour of VNC that does?
The origional vnc on msWindows works by effectively copying the data
from the screen(-buffer). Hence if the screen-lock is on, it is also on
in the vnc-session...
RemoteDesktop works differently: that hooks into the msWindows windowing
functions and effectively constructs the graphics and windows in the
remote-desktop session in stead of on the console-hardware, even if the
/console switch is provided so the console is captured.
Current (specially commercial) vnc implementations have more
capabilities since they can spend money to microsoft to peek in the
source and work more like remote-desktop. I expect microsoft licenses
(and their fees) restrict this functionallity from getting to free versions.
