That is an old reg key. The password is prevented from being changed and does prevent the options screen from even running for the users. The services are not being prevented from stopping.
I believe we got this information years ago from somewhere in this list.

That's setting the password for the server so probably shouldn't have been included (and probably should be changed now). At a guess, the key values are the AllowProperties and AllowShutdown. Setting AllowProperties to 0 will, presumably, prevent the user from accessing the Options screen at all and setting AllowShutdown to 0 should prevent the user from stopping the VNC server from running. I've not checked on this but that's what the names would suggest anyway. Cheers, Robin On Fri Apr 27, 2007 at 09:39:13AM -0400, Stephen H.
