William was close on this, but VNC's documentation is a little off. In the registry key HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default place the DWord "LockSettings" with an s at the end and set it to the value of 2 also place the DWord "LocalInputsDisabled" (that's local inputs disabled) and set it to the value of 1
This should get you all set up.

Unfortunately this didn't have any noticable effect. Is it actually possible to prevent user access to the properties dialog, as well as lock the local keyboard when accessing the server ? It seems odd to have two different security features that cancel each other out. I am in a school situation, & am using VNC to monitor/control classroom PCs. I want to be able to access a student's PC & kill any inappropriate activities (web browsing etc) without having to fight for control of the mouse. I also don't want students to be able to fiddle with VNC properties, for obvious reasons. Surely these should not be mutually exclusive aims ? Any help appreciated.
