WinVNC hide: Hide running WinVNC server

If you install WinVNC in MS Windows environment, you will notice that it creates its own small icon in System Tray. Sometimes you want to get rid of this visible icon and you cannot remove it by any configuration settings.


 

You need to download the original distribution archive, install it and later just replace its file C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\winvnc4.exe. Otherwise error about missing omnithread_rt.dll will occur.

Yo should check that the binary winvnc4.exe differs only in about 3 bytes (by fc/b) to have a proof I (or a man-in-the-middle) did not provide you some cracked replacement. You may also check its md5sum(1):
