how to start vnc client at windows start?

Question

Is it possible to start vnc client connected with a server(in lan) as windows XP start?

Problem is that network drivers won't load fast.. then running vnc at startup won't work

gpedit.msc

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\

Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon create an user, and food ready!

Answer 1

I just connected using

"\program files\ultravnc\vncviewer.exe"  -password PASSWORD SERVERNAME

I connect to a local VNC server using this method in a batch file.

While I think that trying to do this at start up offers a set of potential problems which need to be addressed, it is nevertheless possible. As noted there needs to be enough time for the network to initialize, then you need to consider that the server may not even be on for whatever reason. I find it easier to just double click a shortcut to the batch file when I'm ready, however I have tested the following on a couple of computers and it does indeed work.

Create a batch file that will start the viewer, but put a timed pause in the batch file that gives the network time to initialize. My preference is sleep, but I have seen ping used for the same purpose. In my computer 60 seconds was more than enough, but your mileage may vary

Create a shortcut to the batch file in the startup folder.

In the shortcut properties set Run > Minimized
