Hi James...er...Wez :) I didn't mean any offense by it and its not like I'm pro-MS ;) i was just voicing an opinion :)
>Moving icons out of the Start Menu doesn't prevent users from performing >those functions - it just makes them slightly harder to find. Not if its Win XP Pro...anything like Win 9x/ME then yep, I full agree, however as he said that he is using windows xp pro which means he can restrict file or folder permissions (doesn't matter if its only a workgroup) meaning that he can stop them accessing those icon. >As I stated in my earlier posts, VNC 4b4, when running as a service, can >only be shut down via the SCM (i.e. usually only by Administrators) and >cannot be killed via Task Manager or by normal Users. Much like moving of >Start Menu items, blocking access to Task Manager doesn't achieve much, >except to make it very slightly harder to kill processes. SCM? (forgive me if I appear thick here) Fair enough but as I said in my intro email, I'd only just joined so I have only just started reading these messages...think I might have all of this thread but I'm a new VNC user :) >With regards to Windows 98, I believe you are mistaken.

At the end of the day, all the >settings you describe reside in the registry or filesystem, neither of which >have user-dependent access control. I'll decline to comment here ;) don't want to cause ill-feeling.
