Is there a way to not bother user w/ the admin screen page?

SC is a GREAT tool for me. But to take a couple clicks out of the process, is there a way to launch the server without having to double click on the entry to double click to connect (as soon as the app starts running, it connects)?

And could I be even more picky that maybe if you hold down the shift key (or some other special key) and double click, the usual screen opens up to allow more flexibity?

thanks!

I think this touches on my question

[topic=5635][/topic]

YEah, it starts to be a stealth / spyware app that way.. it's just touch dealing with users that don't know where the any key is... 1 step less they have to do is 10 minutes saved! : )

so is there a way? as soon as you launch sc, it starts to make a connection (there'd only be 1 connection in the list).

There is a way.

Wrap the sc executable in your own compressed file, like a self extracting rar file. When the user double clicks the rar executable (self extracting) have a simple batch file run that launches sc with the appropriate command line options and the IP it will connect to. I do this all the time.

However, not only does the user not see any dialog box pop up, but there will be no tray balloon message showing that they have connected to to you.

Sorry. Mind if I ask for the script? Just a one liner? And it sounds like you know the app well... I've posted a few other questions:

I had a client click on the white area below my text in the SC app and got an error. Any way to deal with that (other than make a load of rows of hosts, all pointing to the same pplace, or your batch)

I'd like a single app that would have a host connect for my house and another to prompt for an IP and port. any ideas? I saw there's an app that just prompts for IP and port. I'd like a single app that lets you do both.

On, and that script - can it also save the app to the desktop for reconnect later? But then it's saving 2 files - the batch and the SC if you want a single step to connect - double click on the batch...
