Fill in password from Tasks or bat file or anyway

[SUSANVV]

I can get the viewer to run automatically and connect up to the password. How can I get the password to log in automatically or can I trick out the server so that a password isn't necessary? I an running this from Windows 2000 Tasks. TIA for any help.

when you connect to the server that you have to type the password in.

either hit ctrl-alt-f5

You can then save the .vnc file with or without the password.
If you have multiple computers this means multiple files...

Thanks for your reply. However, I cannot get the .vnc file to run through Tasks. So I need to have the password entered otherwise. I use Microsoft Tasks to run:
c:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe <host:port>
This connects me but wants a password. When I run from Tasks
c:\Program Files\UltraVNC\whatever.vnc
I get an error message Invalid Server Name... Does not run from a batch file either. And yes, when I run whatever.vnc it puts the password in and I connect just fine. It also works from Start Menu\Run. But no other way. I cannot figure out how to use the vncviewer.exe with all the switches either. Any other ideas are appreciated. TIA for any other help.

Did you try "C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -password <mypassword> -connect <host::port>

Thanks for your help. That was one of the permutations I had not tried. I was putting the password last. Your configuration worked great. Thanks again.
