HowTo: Change from single to multiple users or to Service?

(Sorry - I'm sure the answer must already be in the Forum but I haven't found it!)

I installed WGC Boinc on an XP machine as Administrator, and set it to run for single user (i.e. Administrator). But I spend most time as an ordinary user, so I would like to adjust the settings so the Boinc client runs whoever is logged in (or as a service, whichever causes least problems).

Where/how can I change this please? I can see how to change lots of things but not this!

Thank you.

Simply uninstall and reinstall. Think it's not necessary to uninstall first, but on reinstall it will ask for what way you want to run. Choose 'Service'. It will run even when no one is logged in.
