Is it possible to run UltraVNC w/o a password?

[sherifffruitfly]

I looked around for an answer to this, but couldn't find one... sorry if it's a stupid question, or if it's been dealt with elsewhere...

I just run a 2 computer network, and use UltraVNC to connect between them. It would more convenient if I didn't have to enter a password everytime I connect - is there a way to turn passwords off?

TIA,

i think you can make a shortcut or something that has the pass in its cmd line.

Thanks NightRyder! Your suggestion helped me find the following page of command line options:

I'm having trouble actually making use of the password command-line option - it might have something to do with the fact that (on xp pro) the viewer path is given in quotes (because of spaces in the pathname).

Just to make sure I'm getting the syntax right, can anyone give me a specific example of the correct use of the password switch?

Thanks again,

ah, well i just did this, and thanks to your question, now ive got a few less steps to connecting to my server.

anyway,
"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" <computer_name_or_ip> /password <pass>
example;
"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" Home02 /password dog
is what is in my target line for the shortcut. works like a charm.

AuthRequired : Setting this registry value to zero will disable null-password checking by WinVNC

ah, even better along the lines of what the thread author wanted. though, i think with the pass in the cmd line, its safer then no pass at all.

Well that pretty much takes care of my question.... lol

Thanks a jillion folks!
