winvnc4 commandline sequence/syntax

[James Weatherall]

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?

Cheers,
