How do I turn off the shared clipboard?

I need to be able to turn off the shared clipboard feature between the Remote and the Host. I realize that most people would want it on, however, I will be using VNC to montor an appication running on the Host and that application uses the Host clipboard to automate an application running on it. That would mean that I could not use the Remote's clipboard without confusing the Host. (Ths process runs for several hours.) I have seen documentation on an older version of VNC which seemed to provide this option. I cannot find that option in ultra@vncWin32 version 1.0.0 RC18.

Thanks

I found the /disableclipboard command line option. Are there any other ways to do this? (Config file? GUI?)

Thanks

well you can just add the line to your shortcut.

e.g.
"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" /disableclipboard

or open the shortcut for your viewer click on options and then select disable clipboard on the lower left side.
