Tight VNC Viewer

Tight VNC Viewer is a handy tool that helps you connect to a VNC server quickly and easily. Even though Microsoft has stopped hosting the gadget gallery, there are still plenty of useful gadgets out there, and this one really stands out!

What is Tight VNC Viewer?

This gadget is designed to give you fast access to important tasks. With Tight VNC Viewer, you can log in to a remote computer without any fuss. Once you install it, it pops up on your desktop, ready for action.

How to Connect

When you open the main window of the gadget, you'll see where to enter your connection details. To log in to a remote VNC server, just type in the IP address or hostname of that server. You can also add the display and port number if you want, but don't worry; it's not required for connecting.
