Hi Su, Brian is correct, the registry keys he gave you will remove the icon from the users view using those 2 versions of VNC. There is another option as well if you're only worried about the users being able to shutdown or change the properties of the view. You can add the following 2 keys into the registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\winvnc3\default AllowProperties (DWORD) AllowShutdown (DWORD) Setting both of these keys to "0" will prevent users from editing the properties or shutting down the service. If you're running Win2k (and I assume NT and XP) you can simply delete out the following key from your registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run WinVNC (REG_SZ) "C:\Program Files\.........\winvnc.exe" -servicehelper This will also stop the icon from showing up in any flavor of VNC you're using. It can work on the Win9x platform as well, but if the user logs on to the system quickly, the icon may still show up anyway.
