My platform is Windows XP on both server and client. My VNC server is
behind a firewall. Both this server and my VNC viewer are configured
to use EchoVNC to connect. In order to connect, though, the server
needs to have an active session, i.e., there must be someone logged
into it. This poses a security risk because I must leave the server
(my office computer) with an unattended active session in order to use
EchoVNC.

I tried setting the "Automatically activate EchoVNC at startup"
setting, but this is a bit of a misnomer since this doesn't cause
EchoVNC to activate at startup of the machine but rather at startup of
the user session for which it is configured. It puts a command string
setting under the HKCU registry key "Run" so that EchoVNC starts when
the user logs in. I tried putting that command string under the HKLM
"RunServices" registry key, which is the appropriate place to put
commands that are to run before user login, but that doesn't work.
Apparently, EchoVNC needs an interactive session in order to start.

Is there any way to have EchoVNC to start and run without an active
user session and, if not, are there any plans to do this?

Thanks much,
Greg
