Mike-
Ray was right. You can't directly run programs on a
client's computer. It's a big fat security disaster
waiting to happen.
VNC, however, does allow for backwards connections. The
client can be in "listen" mode, and will accept
connections from a server. This may accomplish just what
you need. Check out the docs at
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvncviewer.html.
Unfortunately, the client must be listening. There's no
way to force a connection otherwise.
It might take some creative scripting to get it to open
the connection to a listening computer, but it's
physically possible. Somehow :)

Subject: VNC & cfexecute
Anyone run cfexecute to start up vnc on a client pc with
the IP address plugged in? Also does the name path in
cfexecute mean the clients path or the servers path?
THanks
