help me with my VNC kungfu

[Crash893]

I was wondering if anyone had a way to make a desktop shortcut that would load a pirtular server and password into vnc so all you basicly have to do is double click on it and go.


thanks

Not possible within the scope of what you're thinking of. Not to mention it entirely defeats the purpose of a password anyway. Unless your VNC client specifically allows this functionality, doing this would involve some real programming trickery. Maybe a bored Windows-hacker-type high school kid would be able to help you out with that.

well even password aside could i make a shortcut to alwasy that makes vnc point to home-jdoe-1 or something like that

Create a shortcut to the VNC Viewer on your destkop. (should be vncviewer.exe) Now edit the properties of the shortcut to add the name of your VNC server to the end:

vncviewer.exe mydomain.bleh.com

There ya go.

You should be able to create a .vnc file, which will contain all the settings used for the session you saved it with. You have the option of saving the password as well (at a risk of security of course). The .vnc filetype should already be registered with windows as well, so you can just double-click on one and open the connection.

Most VNC favors should support it, though may have the option to save it in different spots. On Ultr@VNC (the flavor I use), once a connection has been established, you can right click on it's taskbar icon to bring up the a big menu. Just select "Save Connection Info As...", and name your file :) I believe it's in the same spot for most other VNCs, but I'm not positive.


PS: Gotta thank ya' for asking this, since I've been looking for how to create .vnc files for a while now.... It was good motivation to do a bit more research, and finally discover where it's hidden :D
