Advanced Properties Dialog on Windows

[Lee D. <L.S...@ex...>]

Hi All

I am new to TightVNC but have some limited experience of the original. 
I like TightVNC a lot but there are a couple of things that confuse me.

(1) Shared sessions. I gather that the vncviewer will try to make a 
shared connection by default. This seems to happen regardless of the 
setting under Connection Priority in the Advanced settings on the 
server.

Surely is the server is set to 'Refuse Concurrent Settings', then 
shared sessions should be disallowed?  I have confirmed that my 
registry entries do change when these options are changed.

(2) Query Settings. If I select the option 'Query console on incoming 
connections' the value of QuerySetting reg entry gets set to 4. Which 
means any auth hosts settings with a ? are rejected. Is this the 
expected behaviour.

Selecting this option is also the only way to change the default action
(refuse or accept) and query timeout values. Surely we ought to be able
to change these independently of the QuerySetting value?

If the action is the correct one perhaps the  'Query console on 
incoming' option should be reworded  'Query console on + incoming 
connections'.

Or maybe better still, add more options so we can change the value of 
QuerySetting to anything from 0-4 ??

Maybe I have got the wrong end of the stick on these issues, in which 
case I'd be grateful for advice.

Thanks

Lee
