RE : Starting VNCViewer by right clicking on Machine in Network

[Mark Smith]

I have created the registry entries and the .cmd file described, but  my
Win2K system  will not run the Viewer from a right click on the network
name. The new startvnc.cmd file is located in the root directory (c:\).
Win2K displays a window and reports that it cannot locate the file .exe,
and wants me to locate it.

Thanks for the help

- Mark

 Yes, I find it very useful!

 I'd like to know where you'd found documentation about the use/syntax in
this particular registry key:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\

 The .cmd file is used to trim off the first \\ from %D.  Do you think
it's possible to do so without using external file?

  I was looking for this information and having a lot of
  trouble finding it.  My brother came up with this.  I've only
  tested this on Windows 2000 and it works great.  Sometimes
  the simple stuff is really elegant...
 
  Here is a registry key to import:
 
  -cut here  vnc.reg
  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\VNC]
 
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\VNC\command]
  @=c:\\startvnc.cmd \%D\
  --- cut here
 
  Here is the command file to launch VNCVIEWER - name it
  startvnc.cmd or change the name in the registry key.
 
  cut here--- startvnc.cmd
  set addr=%1
  start C:\Progra~1\RealVNC\vncviewer.exe %addr:~3,-1%:5900
  exit
  cut heree---
 
  Just import the registry key, copy the above commands to a
  file named c:\startvnc.cmd.
 
  That's all there is to it.
 
 
  This depends on the NETBIOS name of the computer being the
  same as the DNS name, which is the default.
 
  Hope someone finds this useful.
 
 
  Mike
