Dilan, The short answer is no.
The long answer is, there may be some workarounds easily possible, depending on your needs. If you *can* access the registry, but prefer not to stick data in there permanently, you may want to try the trick of putting the data in there and removing it when done. This has been implemented before, and there is an example using WSH available at: http://www.bittnet.com/winremote/files/vncctrl.zip The other way to do it would be to try modifying a standard VNC distro such as TightVNC. I don't know the details of how to do this (I'm abysmal with C++) but for someone with a basic knowledge of C++ it may be quite doable - and I think it might be a fantastic variation on the traditional WinVNC server. The current registry implementation is extremely cumbersome since it was really intended as a "first attempt" at using the registry for VNC control on Windows, and we have seen such dramatic growth and change in use on Windows since it first appeared that it is bursting at the seams. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dilan Arumainathan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, 2002-06-13 12:26 Subject: Wintel: Is there a VNC server that doesn't use the registry? > Before trying this myself, I would like to know if anyone has managed to compile a custom VNC server that runs by itself without having to store settings in the registry or anywhere else. Since I haven't even attempted this, is this feasible; may be with a few command line switches, perhaps?. Just a static linked executable that needs nothing else but Windows. I realize that this will be very insecure etc. etc. But this is what I need for the task I have undertaken. > > thanks > dilan > _______________________________________________ > VNC-List mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
