How about creating a registry merge file that is the vnc branch with the
correct password hash setting?  Then all she would have to do is
double-click on the merge file to reset the password.

There isn't a "password protection" on it, but there is a Registry 
entry which disables the Properties menu.  Nothing is completely 
secure on Win9x, but it's another hurdle for him to jump over. 
Please read the docs and FAQ for full info, as I'm not a regular 
Windoze user and don't have the info in my head all the time.  :)

Sounds like my mother too.  She's an artist, and needed help with the 
Colour Picker in Photoshop...  but at least she has the sense to 
write down steps.
