I use this:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Read the documentation carefully. You need to:
-Download custom.zip
-Modify helpdesk.txt to your desired settings
-Insert your own icons/logo (optional)
-Zip all of the files into a new custom.zip
-Upload to the UltraVNC SC Creator tool
-Download the EXE
-Forward the port you used in helpdesk.txt (default 5500)
-Install UltraVNC on your system
-Run UltraVNC in listen mode
-Have the person you're helping run your EXE

This is the helpdesk.txt that I use:
------
[TITLE]
Theymos Remote Assistance

[HOST]
Double-click here to start the connection
-connect theymos.ath.cx -noregistry


[TEXTTOP]
Double-click the text above to start.

[TEXTMIDDLE]
IM theymos before you make a connection

[TEXTBOTTOM]

[TEXTRBOTTOM]
computers with very sensitive data.

If the connection fails,

the software will remove itself automatically

[BALLOON1C]
from your system.

[BALLOON2TITLE]
Connection active.

The syntax of helpdesk.txt is explained on the UltraVNC SC page linked above. I use DynDNS to make theymos.ath.cx point to me:

Add [DIRECT] immediately before [HOST] to make the connection start immediately after your EXE runs, without a menu. I used to do this, but some people weren't entirely prepared for it and it freaked them out.
