I want to log remotely from my computer to box with Mac, when I do it with build in Mac's VNC server, user that sits by this mac can see my action. I do not want them to see it (like in windows when I take control other users can see logon screen). Is there a possibility to configure it this way ?

I want to access from Windows.

Depending on what you want to do, regular file sharing or SSH might be a (poor) substitute. – Daniel Beck Jan 5 '11 at 13:24

Could try LogMeIn, has Mac options and lets you black-out the users screen while you operate their PC...

I tried logMeIn but where can I black out user screen ? I can not find this option – Darqer Jan 7 '11 at 15:15
there should be an icon in the options taskbar with an image of a computer screen. definitely offers the option, I use it regularly... – evesirim Jan 10 '11 at 9:46
Do you use it on mac or on windows because I look at logmein forum and it seems that there is no such an option for mac :( . – Darqer Jan 13 '11 at 14:30
I use it on Win7 but have a client I help who runs it on a Mac & he certainly thinks it has the option. He definitely thinks he uses it regularly... – evesirim Jan 14 '11 at 10:39

Apple's Remote Desktop product will allow you to lock the screen from prying eyes while you are working remotely.

Thank you but I want to access from Windows and I'm searching for some free solution. – Darqer Jan 5 '11 at 19:20
Doesn't Windows Remote Desktop use the VNC protocol? That should work unless hiding the screen isn't part of the standard protocol. – Mark Thalman Jan 5 '11 at 19:23
@Darqer Requirements such as this should be in the question. – Daniel Beck Jan 6 '11 at 7:47
True, I modified, thank you :). – Darqer Jan 6 '11 at 22:30
