Floyd,

I've had it perform flawlessly so far, but I've done clean installs after nuking
everything VNCish in the registry.  The methodology I have used is below.

When I go back and check, I see that the only user-specific data is a VNCHooks
key; all of the connection config data is under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default


================================

================
Test Platform

Windows 2000 SP3 TS in licensed Application Mode.  (System was actually a VMware
machine)

================
Install Process

(1) Manually did a "change user /install" since I prefer controlling the entire
process (and this ensures that it stays in install mode until I say stop).

(2) Did the default install with the following 2 modifications on the "Select
Additional Tasks" screen:
+ checked "Register as a service"
+ checked "start the service"

(3) After setup completed, the service window launched and I set the password.

(4) switched to execute mode with "change user /execute".

=================
Post-Install Testing

I was immediately able to connect successfully to the console session with no
one logged on and with one other user logged on remotely.  Logging on to the
console directly first and then opening VNC and connecting worked fine as well.

I powered the machine down completely, then restarted.  VNC access was available
moments after the Ctl-Alt-Del screen popped up on the VMware virtual console.
Again, no issues with logging on.
