Run VNC server in the background?

wiwazevedo · 05-27-2007, 09:08 PM

is there a way to make the vnc server start up with the computer every time, and just run in theback ground so the user does not know it is running? it usually shows up on the taskbar but is there a way to hide it??

isn't there an option in VNC to launch at startup ?..if not send a shortcut of VNC to the startup folder and mark it as "start minimized".
do this by checking the properties then the 'shortcut tab' then go where it says 'run'.

but am pretty sure there must be an option somewhere for it. don't really remember !!
