No. This behaviour is intentional if you use the AllowShutdown setting.
Under Windows NT, you can use the "net use" command or the Services control
panel to close the service. Under Win95, there is no equivalent of the
service manager, so this isn't possible. Allowing winvnc -kill to work
would render AllowShutdown useless, since then users could simply run it to
kill WinVNC instead of using the tray icon. (As it is if they can edit the
registry then they can still bypass this feature under Win95)
