Yes, the registry key you mention below is where -register puts the remaining arguments. -stop'ing, changing that key and -start'ing WinVNC4 should have the desired effect, although I think SCM does some caching of the registry, so the -unregister -register method may be "safer". If you're going to fiddle with the registry, though, why not just set the VNC server's settings via the normal registry location?
