 I have requested a wiki account so I will just need someone to grant

                        (it's actually the plugin with null values)<br>
                        - The console button in the user and webadmin
                        portals will now launch the new virt-viwer spice
                        based console!<br>
                        <br>
                        Happy Spice Consoling to your VM's from Windows!<br>
                        <br>
                        *NOTE*<br>
                        To uninstall the plugin:<br>
                        - The below removes the add-on from IE (EG:
                        removes knowledge of "application/x-spice")<br>
                        - pop a command terminal and type:<br>
                        On Windows XP: regsvr32 /u "C:\Documents and
                        Settings\Administrator\Local
                        Settings\Application
                        Data\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll"<br>
                        On Windows 7 regsvr32 /u C:\Documents and
                        Settings\Administrator\Local
                        Settings\AppData\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll"<br>
                        - Next we need to remove the rest of virt-viewer<br>
                        - Go to add/remove programs and uninstall
                        virt-viewer, this removes the rest of
                        virt-viewer from the system<br>
                        <br>
