For this to work you need vnc server and client installed on both machines.
On the teacher's machine -vncserver properties: uncheck Accept Pointer Events from Clients uncheck Accept Keyboard Events from Clients Select Always treat new connections as shared Create a Batch file with the following call it "connect all students" winvnc4.exe -connect IP1 winvnc4.exe -connect IP2 winvnc4.exe -connect IP3 ..... Create a batch file consisiting of this call it "connect A student" (you will have to show the teacher how to associate seats with IP's) winvnc4.exe -connect Run the firs batch file to connect all students, the second to just show something to one. On the student's machine set up a listening viewer to run on startup. On the students machine set up the server as a service (google the mailing list for how to disable the tray menu, the icon will still be ther but im pretty shure you can lockout changes.) That should be a start.... Additionally VNC enterprise may have even better features to support this. Also there are other vnc based-solutions that may be just what you need at a small fee. If you have funding you can also check out net-op school which is a remote control package (not vnc) that is especially designed for classroom usage. --ANgelo Then show the teacher how to disconnect all of them by clciking in the tray and choosing disconnect all clients.
