2. On the search box, type "regedit" and press enter;

3. On the left column, navigate to:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RealVNC\vncserver
   

4. On the right, you should now see a REG_DWORD Value named "DisableTrayIcon";

5. Right click over it and select "Modify...";

6. The value should be set to "1", replace it with "0" to show the tray icon;

7. Press OK, as soon as you press it, the tray icon should appear.

Two solutions:

1) If you feel that there is no security concern (both pcs on a well-protected LAN), then you can simply disable password on the server, just leave the field empty.

2) If instead you wish to leave some security in place, you can save session information from the F8 menu or the menu in the top bar. Make sure that you include your password, and that the file saved has extension .vnc. Next time, you may just click on this saved file, and your session will be restarted without asking for a password.
