from what I can see, if the config file is found in the default location,
the

sStr1 = Config_path

so

sStr1 = "C:\temp\v4-5900.vnc"

and the shell would be

Shell C:\Program Files\RealVNC\vncviewer.exe -Config C:\temp\v4-5900.vnc

(for demo assuming vncviewer.exe is in the default).

Since you have a space in the path, perhaps it should be
Shell "C:\Program Files\RealVNC\vncviewer.exe" -Config C:\temp\v4-5900.vnc

You will have to play with it to see what works for spaces in the path of
either or both arguments.

(use the Command Prompt window)
