More regarding the unwelcome properties dialog... The reg file was exported from the registry from an installed and configured version of vnc -- that is, a default password has been set. Running vnc from the start menu, or from running startvnc.bat manually both work as expected. The problem only arises when running the login script.
Setting AllowProperties=0 brings up an error dialog saying (more or less) that vnc can only be configured by admin. Different values for the other entries in the reg file have also been tried, but no success. I also tried applying the reg patch only once, instead of at each login. I'm assuming then that vnc is still asking for a password (or maybe something else is being requested -- like what?) Developers: this is a design issue -- please clarify -- displaying the properties box is NOT the same as asking for a password! So what is causing w98 -- but not xp -- to do this??? > When a user logs in, a login script runs which calls the following > batch file.
