|No. This behaviour is intentional if you use the
|AllowShutdown setting.
|Under Windows NT, you can use the "net use" command or the
|Services control panel to close the service. Under Win95,
|there is no equivalent of the service manager, so this isn't
|possible. Allowing winvnc -kill to work would render
|AllowShutdown useless, since then users could simply run it to
|kill WinVNC instead of using the tray icon. (As it is if they
|can edit the registry then they can still bypass this feature
|under Win95)
Except for one thing. The registry is changed, but then a
reboot is required. Just changing the registry doesn't
allow immediate access to the shutdown feature.
(BTW, I appreciate your help with this issue. It's
really an excellent product, and the price can't be beat.)
