Hi Jvrn! I believe there is a way to do this with the 3.3.7 and older vncs by setting QueryConnect 'on' in the local settings and 'off' in the global settings, which would have the effect you want because the local settings are used only when a user is logged on. I haven't tried in the new version, but I saw a thread where James 'Wez' Weatherall of realvnc said that the global settings are always in effect when running as a service, even when a user is logged in as of version 4. If this is the case, it would take away the ability to use different settings based on whether someone is logged in to the machine or not. Here is the thread I'm refering to: http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2004-July/046131.html I, too, am interested in whether this can be done in version 4, so if anyone can comment (Wez? ;), that would be great!
