I was wondering though if the same thing (no permission dialogs) could be achieved in Windows 7 and if anyone had tried messing with that at any point. Thanks.

Thanks again to both of you for your great work! Rob I’ve taken the code that you and Daniel have put together and made it available as a download here:

Thanks, now I know how to create my own modified remote assistance files. Here are two working scripts that copy modified files to a remote machine and initiates a remote assistance session and then removes those files. http://www.visualbasicscript.com/m_50614/tm.htm I got hold of Modified RA files that someone else created.

Upon pondering the issue of writing the entires to the file, why not just back up the whole html file and write a known good file to the remote system? Without looking into this in-depth at the moment, I can't see any reason why not to do that (the files seem small enough), instead of writing a few lines here and there. Unless someone can give me a good reason? I’ve been thinking of doing this, so I’ll probably modify Doug’s code and release something in the near term.

Especialy in enterprise enviroment, i'll be aware of it. I will highly recomand to left some user interaction, at least accepting the initial request. If you rip of this functionaly "security guys" can blame you about spying on customers/users. In other hand, there is realy no need to conform of overiding control of targeted machine, especialy when user can in any time cancel the connection by pressing ESC.
