Hey, what I did was a little in depth, but then again, I kind of taylor-fit
VNC to my needs. I work for a call center, and the supervisors wanted visual
monitoring capabilities. I proposed VNC, and they loved it. It had 3
problems though:
1) no simple way to disable password checking (without a dialog box warning
msg)
2) Users could exit VNC and/or kill all connected clients, mess
w/properties, etc
3) tray icon changed colours when people connected.
It was a bit tricky, but I got all three "problems" fixed.
1) Set "AuthRequired" to 0 so no password was necessary
2) A little more difficult, but I had first set it so no one could change
properties, then I made some registry changes using "AllowProperties" and
"AllowShutdown". Then I wised up, and discovered I can set it for certain
users to have access to shutting down and changing properties by specifying
them in the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\<username>] key. (I set
the whole IT dept up to be able to shutdown/change properties)
3) a bit more involved, but while editing the source so the silly "warning,
password blank, blah blah blah" warning dialog box didn't pop-up (it's
nested in an "if,then,else" statement...just remove the "else" part and it
compiles fine)I also changed the tray icon to be white at all times
(replaced the black/green icon with a copy of the normal icon)
Yeah, a bit more difficult and drawn out then what Jason Powell suggested,
but I wanted to keep the tray icon so I could quickly see who had VNC and
who did not :) If you want a copy of the regkeys I used, email me back
