VNCviewer cannot run from the thumb drive? I'm thinking that the
answer is yes because it won't be able to create the registry entries.
It's written to this area:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RealVNC\VNCViewer4
According to Microsoft...
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/51211.mspx?mfr=true
"A new HKEY_CURRENT_USER subtree is created each time a user logs on."
But the VNCviewer stores information more permanently. For example, it
remembers where I have previously connected. So it must at least try to
create other registry keys.
Also according to Microsoft:
"The HKEY_CURRENT_USER subtree does not contain any data. It just stores a
pointer to the content of..."
So if something is stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER it is also being written
somewhere else.
The reason I am interested in this is that some friends in another
department have a very heavy-handed IT staff that won't allow them to
install any programs. I'm wondering if there is no way around this
restriction.
