Consider a xml format file instead of a tab delineated text.

There may be two reasons for this malfunction:

(A) VNC Server had been running on your computer as an automatic service
before you launch Kaboodle. If this is the case, turn this service off prior
to launching Kaboodle.

(B) While deleting the old registry keys, you probably also deleted some
useful settings concerning VNC support. Try doing this.
1. Right-click _your_ pc icon and in the property panel select VNC setup tab
and go to the top half.
2. Set the checkbox "Use Kaboodle to control the startup ..."
3. Use Browse button to locate your WinVNC.exe file
4. Give it OK and restart
5. After Kaboodle restarted, take notice of the appearance of you pc icon:
it will have a new circle-like mark in the center with a V inside, which
means that the VNC server has been started and is Kaboodle-controlled.

>4. Two small changes needed in the VNC PropertyTab. First, in the top

>   on ServerName" where ServerName is the Kaboodle name of the VNC
> ...

Completed :-)
