The next pre-release of TridiaVNC will support a registry setting
called "DisableTrayIcon", which will do just that when a non zero
value us present. The default will be to display the icon, of
course.
I have not used the AllowProperties or AllowShutdown settings
recently, but they are configured and work as described in the
documentation:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\AllowProperties
DWORD = 0 (disable user access to the properties dialog)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\AllowShutdown
DWORD = 0 (disable user ability to stop WinVNC server)
As I understand it, local per user settings, if present, can
override these. So for user "smith":
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\smith\AllowProperties
DWORD = 0 (disable user access to the properties dialog)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\smith\AllowShutdown
DWORD = 0 (disable user ability to stop WinVNC server)
However, as long as the users are prevented from accessing the
properties dialog from the beginning, these user specific entries
should not exist.
