Ok, thanks for considering. I don't have any way to run a task before connecting; at least, no way that is easier than clicking an [ok] button once.
One day I will move salive to a newer OS and/or a server that does not use VNC. I can easily live with this until then. I think you'd need an expert on the quirks of VNC on Win2003 to make a really good guess about the real story here. Have a good weekend and thanks for a super product, I am 99.9% happy with it !
