<strong>VNC</strong> Viewer has a shortcut menu that facilitates many of the same common operations as the <strong>VNC</strong> Viewer<br />

toolbar. More on this toolbar.<br />

Note: If you cannot access the <strong>VNC</strong> Viewer shortcut menu, it may have been disabled. For more<br />

PC laptops or Mac OS X computers):<br />

(Some standard Windows menu options have been omitted from this example.)<br />

computer also running Mac OS X.<br />
