Hi Nick, I run into this a lot myself. I guess it would be nice to have an option in EchoWinVNC to shutdown an existing winvnc server if running. A work-around would be to write a batch file that shuts down the vnc server whether it is running as a service or app (user mode). these two command should do it...I would run them in this order. Be aware that taskkill.exe only works for Windows XP, but in my experience its not really needed as 90+ percent of the time the person has the service running. If it is truly needed I suppose you could use kill.exe off the resource kit for an older OS. not sure how far back the net.exe command goes either, but it definitely works in Windows 2000.
