Peter Thanks for the detailed description. I was interested about the Question 1 that you have mentioned below (How does VNC remember what I was running when I switch viewers ?). I keep my office viewer open and connect to the VNC server from home and still manage to get the same applications that were running from the office viewer. Who maintains this ?
