thankfully that tends to be true, and presently I have the luxury of not having to worry about anyone outside the IT department here being brave enough to even look for regedit. my single largest worry is that I will become complacent and then move to a job where I really am trying to lock out hardcore hackers.

It's probably the ones who AREN'T as techy who are going to close VNC. It's "security by obscurity" all over again. If you make it difficult enough for people to close the server, most people aren't going to bother, IMNSHO. :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Weatherall Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2005 7:03 AM To: 'Steve Bostedor'; 'Erik Soderquist'; [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: How to hide vnc icon > How about setting permissions on the > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\orl and > related registry keys?
