Try setting up shortcuts to it using using commandline options

"C:\Program Files\TightVNC\vncviewer.exe" -compresslevel 9 -quality 0

-compresslevel level
    Use specified compression level (0..9) for "tight" and "zlib" encodings (TightVNC-specific). Level 1 uses minimum of CPU 
time and achieves weak compression ratios, while level 9 offers best compression but is slow in terms of CPU time 
consumption on the server side. Use high levels with very slow network connections, and low levels when working over high-
speed LANs. It's not recommended to use compression level 0, reasonable choices start from the level 1.

-quality level
    Use the specified JPEG quality level (0..9) for the "tight" encoding (TightVNC-specific). Quality level 0 denotes bad image 
quality but very impressive compression ratios, while level 9 offers very good image quality at lower compression ratios. Note 
that the "tight" encoder uses JPEG to encode only those screen areas that look suitable for lossy compression, so quality level 
0 does not always mean unacceptable image quality.
