    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    I see some questions about problems with Windows 10 with Remote Control, but I'm not seeing any issues at all - well, one (it doesn't auto-lock the remote workstation when I disconnect), so am wondering what the problems are... I'm still running an older version though (1.7.3) due to the...

    Oops, sorry, I was looking at your join date, not the post date. So, scratch that last part... ;)

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Glad to see you're still around Muad'Dib! Well, I hop[e you are, since its actually been a while since your last post... Maybe you could revisit and consider some of the features we listed a while back you said you'd consider adding (I went back and compiled a list from the last discussion)...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Actually I think that it is disabled on Win 10 by default, whereas it wasn't on Win 7. So apparently it must be enabled in order for the registry key to have any effect. I found a copy I had downloaded previously, but I decided to continue using 1.7.3 for two reasons: 1. 1.8.1 brings up a UAC...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Ok, got it working (Win7 > Win10)... To get 'Send Ctrl-Alt-Del' working I also had to enable: Admin Templates > Windows Components > Windows Logon Options - Disable or enable software Secure Attention Sequence (enable)

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Ok, finally got it to partially work (had to enable RemoteRegistr via Group Policies, not sure why I had to do that for Win 10 but not Win 7)... But, clicking the 'Send Ctrl-Alt-Del' doesn't work, nor does clicking the 'Power' icon in the lower right corner. So, I connect and can see the...

    Hi Minkus, Any chance you could relate any changes you had to make to get it to work?

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Ok, Muad'Dib, I have been commanded to start testing and then rolling out Windows 10 in our network of about 70 workstations. I just added the first one to our domain, and everything has been working fine, until I tested RemoteControl... using the same user account I use for all daily...

    Oh, and one more... 2.5 Remember the last sorted order, and do a full re-sort on that field the next time it is launched.

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    So... Muad'Dib, are you still around? Here is my current list of issues that would make this tool perfect... 1. Allow an option to save (or not) the last workstation connected to when disconnecting. I update workstations remotely a lot, and will reconnect to the same one 3 or 4 times when...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Spoke too soon... I forgot about the new 'feature' that wipes the Host name field when you disconnect from the target machine. It is very common that I have to connect multiple times to the target machine (ie, updating, and have to reboot in between, etc), This is such an inconvenience...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Well, for some reason I decided to test the latest version again, and now there is no delay before getting the UAC prompt, so I'm now using the latest (1.8.1) version...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Ok, I'll add these two (the first wasn't exactly a request as much as a subtle complaint, but I'll make it a request now): 1. Figure out why forcing the UAC prompt causes it to launch soooo much slower, and if possible, fix it, and 2. Add a feature to remember the window position (I have...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Thanks, and yes, I know all of the arguments... but the fact is, as long as UAC is enabled, and one understands how it works, and is carefuly (that is where most slip up), running with Admin creds is really very safe. The only thing that running with a standard user gets you is instead of just...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Glad you found it useful. I also forgot to add another step I found, which gets rid of the Command Prompt window opening. I created a tiny vbs script containing only the following, and launch RemoteControl from the vb script instead: Well, crap, my Intrusion Detecion device is detecting this...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Well, I finally figured out how to do it by the second column... First, I downloaded and installed the GNU coreutils from here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm Then I simply used the new unix compatible (and much more powerful) sort command, so, the new batch...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    What are the permissions for that share/folder/the RemoteControl.exe file? Mine are full control across the board (for my user).

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Where do you run it from? I run it from a network share (where I store all my Portable Apps).

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Maybe you were talking about if the user account I am using was a STANDARD account? That would make sense, but I thought I clearly stated that I was using a Domain Admin account (if not, then I'm still confused)... My understanding is that when RemoteControl tries to connect to another...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    No idea what you mean by this either. UAC only protects the local computer. How would you expect UAC running on my computer to protect other computers on the network?

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Not sure what you mean by 'this' (If 'this' is the case...), but... I am the Domain Admin. I provide support for all of our users, who are Standard users and do not have Admin privileges on their workstations. When I launch RemoteControl on my computer, while logged on with Domain...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    I understand the argument, but all this does (for me) is slow down the launching of Remotecontrol considerably, and - again, for me - provides absolutely no benefits. Is there a way (command-line option maybe?) to disable the UAC prompt? I've downgraded to an earlier version because of...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    I really much prefer the old behavior... is there any way to get the old behavior back (so it does NOT clear the last connection details)? Love this idea!

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Thanks!! I actually saw that file when looking, but the .tmp extension I guess just caused me to ignore it, so I didn't even peek inside. I figured out how to sort this list every time I open Remotecontrol, but it sorts by host name, and I need it to sort by description. Would appreciate...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    I would die and go to heaven if I could simply sort the list by Description, either by clicking on it, or with a script. I figured out how to sort it with a batch file every time I launch it, but it sorts on the first field, which is the host name, which is not what I go by when I need to...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Greetings Muad'Dib, Many thanks for your continued work on RemoteControl! Question though... is it possible to migrate the list of computers from one user account/computer to another? I've searched the registry and can't find where RemoteControl stores its data... Thx!

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Even better - allow the use of a .cfg (or .ini) file to store prefs, instead of using the registry. Also, allow it to be stored anywhere - this way I could store the file on a network share, and therefore the list of recent hosts would follow you around, instead of having a different one on each...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Ok, got confused - was searching the local registry for tightvnc, when it is realvnc that is used for the viewer. Found the setting, and I'm back in business... Might be a good idea to allow the user to change this directly from the App under the 'Options' meny *before* a connection is...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Aaargh! I decided to change the Security setting to 'AlwaysOn', and now I get an error message about upgrading the VNC Server, or changing the security setting, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to change the security setting back! Help! Otherwise, I'm loving RemoteControl!

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    No problem... its more an annoyance than anything, since the only workstation I remote into that has multiple monitors is mine at our other office (everyone else only has one monitor). It would be much more annoying if everyone had multiple monitors though. ;) No, it is happening with the...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Hello... First, thanks so much for RemoteControl! I was lost when GenControl stopped working, and I was unable to find a suitable replacement... then I decided to search again, and lo and behold, here you are! One potential problem, and one Feature Request though... First - I just had...
