Share My Desktop (SMD) is a simple little wrapper application that I created for OSXvnc in AppleScript Studio. SMD makes initiating a VNC server very simple -- just click a button!

To initiate the VNC server just click on the "Start sharing" button. The server will start in the background (you will see no evidence that it is running except for the feedback in SMD's window), and your connection information (IP address, port, and password) will be displayed. This information is also copied to the clipboard if you would like to paste it into an email.

SMD can be installed on client systems, so if the client needs assistance, they can call the Tech Support staff, initiate the VNC server, and give the Tech Support staff the connection information. When the Tech Support staff is able to share the client's screen, they can SHOW the client what they need to do to fix a problem, rather than try to guide them by voice alone.
