Hello Sirs.
I'd like to use PuTTY with Xming.
Everything is fine, as long as Xming is started with the default
display :0
When I use something else (Xming.exe :<displaynumber> -clipboard -
multiwindow -ac),
I have to configure the "X display location" setting in PuTTY. It
seems, that there is no command line option for this.
When done in the GUI everything is fine.
However, I would like to
PuTTY.exe -ssh -X <user>@<server> -pw <mypassword>
I'd like to use PuTTY with Xming.
Everything is fine, as long as Xming is started with the default
display :0

PuTTY.exe -ssh -X <user>@<server> -pw <mypassword>
Wy do I want to use a different display?
I'd like to use PuTTY with Xming on a Microsoft Windows 2003 RDP
Server.
Different users start Xming instances in their RDP sessions on the
same server:
Everyone specifies his own displaynumber.
Thanks in advance

Create a saved session with the configuration you require, and invoke it
with 'putty -load'?
