RE: Change desktop when remote connection is established

Patrick,
Thank you for your reply!
What happens if they aren't at their desk or don't reply? I'm thinking of instances where they may not even be logged on to the computer. If the action is set to query, and no one is there, what happens?

There is one way I know to to A) Notify users and B) allow unattended access.  (This is available in Win ver 2.7.10.) From the Access Control Tab on the Server Configuration, Set the IP Range up and use "Action = Query" with at least a 10 second time time out and "Accept connection on timeout".  This way the user is notified as long as they are at their computer.

I work for a financial institution and we are audited on a regular basis.

A concern has been raised about having TightVNC installed, that IT may "snoop" on end users without their knowledge.

I know the systray icon changes upon connect, but I doubt that will be good enough for some of our users, plus I have currently chosen to hide the icon.

I have looked on the mailing lists and didn't find what I'm looking for, probably due to putting in the wrong words and getting way too many hits.

What I would like to do is have the desktop change in some way, I am currently choosing to hide the background, but if a user has windows open, then they wouldn't see that.

Is there a way to force the desktop background to black (yes I know, they still may not see that) upon connect, then back to whatever color it was before connection?

Is there a way to force the desktop to be displayed in "basic" mode? WebEx or another remote tool does this, to preserve bandwidth and make screen refresh faster.

I've searched on TightVNC's site, plus the mailing list site, plus "TightVNC for Windows: Installing from MSI Packages" and "TightVNC for Windows: Installation and Getting Started" but didn't see what I'm looking for.

I will be installing by pushing the MSI through a script, so having the commands to put in the script will be a big help.



Thank you all in advance!
