Yep. Same stuff I remember reading. Couldn't make it work to save my life,
though. I saw some reference to adding a user key named SYSTEM (presumably
for a service running as LocalSystem). I wonder if that might be of any
help. I'd also point out that NT4 couldn't support the auto-locking without
great pain, but Windows 2000 (or NT5, if you prefer) has an API for exactly
this functionality.

>From the WinVNC documentation (I haven't tried this, but haven't seen any
contrary information):
LockSetting
WinVNC can be made to take actions when a viewer disconnectsby setting this
value as follows:
0 - none
1 - lock workstation on disconnect (not currently implemented)
2 - logoff on disconnect
Local or Global per-user setting

Subject: Logging off NT
Hi, all
I have a question for the developers. It's very iffy, but here goes...
I have given my dad vnc viewer and the vnc session password, and taught him
how to log into our home NT 5 server. He needs to do this so that he can
dial out to the internet when I am away/sleeping/whatever. However, try as I
might, I can not get him to understand this concept of vnc being only a
window into the box, and that he needs to log off the machine himself when
he is finished. There is not a day goes by that I don't have a whine at him
for leaving the server logged on, and he says something like "But I shut
down my machine!", "But I closed the vnc viewer window!" and the like.
Do you think it would be practical to write into the Win32 version of the
server that (optionally, administrator-configurable) when the viewer session
is terminated, it logs off the machine? And if so, would anybody be able to
implement this?
Cheers
Graham
