I'm writing something for the Windows platform. I'll let you know when it is complete.

Then goto regedit (Start | Run | Regedit) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Sofware\ORL then goto Registry | Export Registry File... This will bring up a save dialog and you can save the settings to a known location. All you then need to do is to install VNC and then double click on the registry file (<file name>.reg) this will then merge those settings into the registry, you will get the following prompt (no quotes) "Are you sure you want to add the information in [<your file name>].reg to the registry?" Click yes and there you have it! If you have set up your machines correctly you can push the software onto them, though it might not be present in Win9X/NT4. Unfortunately I am not familiar with this technology. You might have problems with the VNC Icon being present in the system tray as Win95 to ME do not run services as NT, 2000, XP does. But you should be able to do it as I have descibed above. This is perhaps one of many ways of doing it. -- Best regards, Graham mailto:vnc@;bmsgharr.globalnet.co.uk _______________________________________________ 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
