ok, this now finally is the easyest way to use remote desktop and vnc in combination without the help of any service script or webserver or scripts that require any passwords.
applies to win xp pro, other os may work with ajustments. create two batch files on your win xp desktop or in startmenu or wherever: "disconnect.bat" containing tscon 0 /DEST:console rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation and "logoff.bat" containing tscon 0 /DEST:console shutdown /L use them instead of the startmenu items "log off ..." and "disconnect" and instead of the "x box". both first bring the session back to console so you will recieve the same alert box as if somebody would take over your session from the console. then the script fire a "lock workstation" so nobody will be able to access the session sitting in front of console or the "logoff" (here using shutdown /L). in any case the machine then will be accessible from a vnc connection or again a remote desktop client. in any case presenting you the login or unlock dialog. in any situation where a session was logged of or disconnected without the things in the batch scripts you cannot do anything to vitalize the "black vnc client" unless you have the possibilities to trigger something on the machine like described in my other postings. /off/joerg _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
