Monitor PC Without Control

from Stardock Forums

Hi, I'd like to be able to monitor another network pc without taking over control of the mouse. Is this possible? I'm running KVM 3.57.

It seems I can somewhat achieve this by opening the remote pc in windowed mode and not clicking on the window. However, in case of accidents this would be disruptive (for school monitoring).

Thanks!

Not currently no.  You can turn this on so they would know, however

Actually is it possible via the registry.

You can either set it per connection or for all KVM connections.

For a single connection you need to go here in the registry 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Multiplicity2\Machines\<CONNECTIONNAME>

where connectionname is the name of the connection you are using.

And add a new REG_SZ entry called ViewOnly and give it a value of 1

If you want to set it so every connection is view only you can instead set the following registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Multiplicity2\KVM\KVM and create a REG_SZ called AlwaysViewOnly and set that to 1.

Or that... (which I was not aware of).
