Your problem, IMO, is that you mixed up "User" properties and "Default"
properties. Yeah, I agree that this isn't clear at first glance. I too had made
mistake on these two.
If you had used "default" properties dialog, you wouldn't have had to hack
with the registry. But I agree that the current DOC and FAQ in the new website aren't
complete. I still prefer the old site
http://www.uk.research.att.com/archive/vnc/faq.html#q20
I've been asking merging those two sites and never have I got any answer. Is
there some legal reason preventing us from doing so? Or AT&T prevents us from doing
so?
