I just recently started to play around with UltraVNC on our network, and I got stuck in a situation. When you install the VNC server (I do silent Server only), and then I go to Admin Properties to configure password, and etc. settings I marked Disable Tray Icon. Ok here is the deal how do i get it back. I read on some other forum threads that you should modify a Registry...but it still does not work. Once you have this checked there is no way to go back and modify other settings.
Is there a solution for this issue? I would appreciate any help.

Re: System Tray Icon
I'm not at a PC so I can't verify this, but I believe you need to run
to get the admin properties back so you can reset the setting.
Code: Select all
winvnc -defaultsettings
Re: System Tray Icon
OR. You open the ultravnc.ini-File you will find in the same folder than winvnc.exe, edit "DisableTrayIcon=0", close and save the ultravnc.ini-File and start the service again (you need adminrights) or reboot the pc (you don`t need adminrights 
). Because the VNC server must read the ultravnc.ini one more time. Then you will find your TrayIcon.
These is another way for UltraVNC 1.0.3 and above.

Re: System Tray Icon
I've been investigating the relationship between DisableTrayIcon as specified in the ultravnc.ini file, and in the Registry at HKLM\ORL\Defaults. A third place these appear is in the Admin Settings GUI of the Ultr@VNC Server Properties.
The interaction among these three values for dictating the "hiding" of the tray icon leaves me to wonder if the Registry value has any utility whatsoever.
1. The Admin Settings GUI affects only the DisableTrayIcon in the ultravnc.ini file. It does not appear to change the Registry at all.
2. Only once in all my 12 tests did the value for DisableTrayIcon in the ultravnc.ini get duplicated to the Registry. That happened when the value in the INI file was changed to 0, and the system rebooted. On that one occasion, the Registry value was changed to 0 after reboot.
My Questions:
Is the Registry value used at all by the Ultr@VNC code? If so, why must it exist? It is a mere artifact of other imported code?
Do you have a plan that will change this in the future and make that Registry value relevant? If so, what will be its' relationship with the value in the ultravnc.ini file?
All this testing was done with V1.0.5.2, using the supplemental uncviewer.ese and vncserver.exe files provided at the FTP site (http://sc.uvnc.com/1052/).
