Program Icon

[Bravotech]

In order for this software to be acceptable in corporate and business environment, the icon should be changed.

The problem is that the EYE sends the wrong message in a completely misleading way, and creates needless worries and explaination, and even out-right rejection (by users or management).

All of us technically savvy already knew that IT already has full access to the end-users' system no matter what, remote or not. The paranoid end-users tend to dislike that fact that something is being install on their system to watch them. They feel a privacy violation.

It is completely unwise to stress the "watch" aspect, as opposed to the support and assistance aspects. A netural icon such as pcAnywhere's computer screen would be much more appropriate.

Yes, I already know, UVNC (just like radmin and pcAnywhere, etc.) has a way of running in hidden mode without icon. That too is inappropriate in principles for most situations. It sends the wrong message.

Hello
With UltraVNC v1.01 it is possible !
you can change icon, restricted acces to modification or hide the icon !

-To change icon, choise 2 icons .ico and put it then in the same directory of winvnc.exe with the names : icon1.ico and icon2.ico, they will be used as sytray icon.

-for restricted right, use the register Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default]
"AllowShutdown"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default]
"AllowProperties"=dword:00000001

-For "no icon" in sytray bar:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3]
"DisableTrayIcon"=dword:00000001

good luck
