Quite simple. In any version of VNC from 3.3.3r7, set a registry value for the key "AuthHosts" to "-:?", which will then cause the user to be prompted for accept/reject when a connection attempt is made.
Also, with the TridiaVNC distro 1.4 or TightVNC 1.2 or higher, there's also a registry key to change the default auto-reject to auto-accept after the timeout (and in all versions you can adjust the timeout via the "QueryTimeout" registry key). Search the AT&T docs for exact syntax requirements. Good luck!!

The program is used to help our end-users when they have problems with their desktop applications VNC seems an ideal candidate, but we ran into a small problem. Security policies over here demand that the user, from who we want to see his screen, must be warned when we want to take over control of his computer (we are a hospital, and sometimes there is personal information on a screen, that may not be seen). He then has the possibility to either refuse or accept the connection (maybe after closing some screens or files). I may be wrong, but I cannot find such an option in the VNC server. Anyone an idea how to accomplish this? I am not a programmer, so maybe anyone else has integrated this functionality into his program...
