win98 user properties on startup bug? (yes, i think it's a bug) This is proving to be a right pain... I've tried this with tightvnc-1.2.8_x86 and UltraVNC-107-Win32 - same result: Current User Properties dialog at login, Click OK (with or without entering the password), and VNC fails to start -- every time on Win98 (Bad), never on XP (Better)...
When a user logs in, a login script runs which calls the following batch file. Why doesn't this work? :startvnc.bat - called when user logs in regedit /s g:\vnc.reg start g:\tightvnc\winvnc.exe -kill -run --- g:\vnc.reg looks like: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3] " "=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default] "AllowProperties"=dword:00000001 "AllowShutdown"=dword:00000001 "DebugMode"=dword:00000004 "DebugLevel"=dword:0000000a "DisableTrayIcon"=dword:00000000 "Password"=hex:xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx --- I've placed the above keys in the _only_ places thay should go -- according to http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html -- to quote: "1.Local machine-specific settings. Options specified here are not overridable. Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\ 2.Local default user settings. Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default 3.Local per-user settings. These override the local default user settings. If there is no current user, the username SYSTEM will be used. Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\<username> 4.Global per-user settings. These are only read if AllowProperties has not been set to zero (see below) Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORL\WinVNC3 Most options can only be specified in a subset of these places, as specified in each option's description below..." I understand this is a common problem -- but I can't find the solution -- please help!
