actually, like I said, what i did involved a little less steps : install on another machine as service
export HKLM\Software\ORL\ import to the remote machine start the service that's it. but while it's allright for someone at a level of sysadmin (like us), a simple user may have a problem with this, that's why i am sure, that a simple interface for defining the settings before starting the service will surely be apriciated Alex. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Angelopoulos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 1:16 AM Subject: Re: VNC as windows service > This is a mess.
