Hide the Screen from Remote Desktop User

Post by hmohapatra »

Hi,

I am connecting to a work computer from home via HTTP (VNC Server on Work Computer) and wish to hide all activities I am doing remotely on the work computer from anyone at work.

Is there a way I can do this using UltraVNC!

Thanks in advanced!

screen blanking is not longer supported on servers using Vista>=.
MS removed an essential part in the new graphical engine, without it's impossible the capture all except the topwindow.
New engine merge all before display...

RDP is the simplest option for accomplishing this.

If you can only use VNC to connect, you could RDP to the desired computer (CompA) from another one (CompB) and then connect to the other computer (CompB) via VNC. You would just need to run an instance of winvnc.exe inside the RDP session. It's a tad convoluted, but it gets you there.

You could always try it, but I don't use singleclick so I can't speak to it as a solution.
