I have "vnc_auto_file" and only have TightVNC in my machine. I never installed UltraVNC.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vnc] @="vnc_auto_file" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\.vnc] @="vnc_auto_file" I don't have a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.vnc key.
I see my SU edit is not approved yet so it's not visible. I'll just paste it here: What solved the problem for me was fixing these registry keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\tvnviewer.exe\shell\open\command HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\vnc_auto_file\shell\open\command Your path to the viewer may be different. The trick for me was adding the -optionsfile. It needs to be "C:\Program Files\TightVNC\tvnviewer.exe" "-optionsfile=%1"

Came across this myself today. To fix, you need edit the registry key Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vnc_auto_file\shell\open\command as follows: Change this: "%1" To this: "-optionsfile=%1" Leave everything else alone. See https://superuser.com/a/1511286/18964 for more details.
Late to the party, but I encountered this myself today in v.2.8.59. It's caused by a bad registry key. Check https://superuser.com/a/1511286/18964 for a fix.
Hey Alex, Tried it and now it both fills in the user name and auto selects the entry. Thanks a lot for the quick response and for this awesome plugin!
