Actually, let me re-state that...
"winvnc -kill" doesn't work on *either* platform. On NT,
I use "net stop winvnc" to kill the process, and then
"winvnc -remove" to remove the service. On Win9x, neither
of these commands will end the program. I can also hit
Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the task list, and "End Task"...
it removes it from the task list, but does not shut down
the program.
I assume that this has something to do with the fact that
the program is running as a service instead of just a
regular app. Is there any other way to accomplish this?

Yes, I can shut down NT copies, but not Win9x.

So you can shut down NT copies but not Win9x copies of WinVNC?

It's encrypted to prevent casual disclosure. Unless the registry key has
appropriate security set on it, it's vulnerable.
