Hi Denis

I assume that you use Windows VNCviewer b: 

No you canbt this way
...... but you can instead put the password , the target address and channel  ( and also other interesting parameters such as the rescale ) in a configuration file that you will call via a command line ( or in a shortcut properties ) this way :
"C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\vncviewer.exe" -config  Setup14.vncb for example where Setup14.vnc contains all the parameters you need ans also the password ( if you want ) .

This configuration file has been created by the VNCviewer, ( once you succeeded to connect to the desired channel and set up all you want concerning it ) via the boptionb menu then Load/Save page , then bConfiguration pageb , bSave asb , you then have the choice to save (or not to save) the password in a configuration file 

Hope to help
