Re: [PLUG] Remote XP ... Re: Edit Windows Registry from Linux LiveCD?

[Mike Sheinberg <m.sheiny@gmail.com>]

I wanted to check out UltraVNC's single-click installation which allows you to preconfigure the settings for your clients in a compact binary and then they initiate the connection going out-bound to your machine. 

http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html
description from site:
"UltraVNC SC is a mini (166k) UltraVNC Server that can be
customized and preconfigured for download by a Customer. UltraVNC
SC does not require installation and does not make use of the
registry. The customer only have to download the little
executable and Click to make a connection. The connection is
initiated by the server, to allow easy access thru customers
firewall."

Haven't got a chance to test it though, so if anyone has had any luck with it let me know :)

LogMeIn works well for novices.  Though it requires IE, ies4linux works well.
