Changing BOINC Manager

What is the simplest way to change this? I may need to change a computer from starting BOINC when a specific user logs on to autostarting when the computer is booted. I know there are choices when you install BOINC (entering a Userid and Password), but can you get to change that choice after install without reinstall?

Re: Changing BOINC Manager

Install as Shared User instead of Single or Service/Protected. Then, remove the BOINCmgr launch icon from the All User Startup folder and put copies in for specific users StartUp folder. If it works with 6 I do not know, but think it will. Specifically the All-User one needs removing else BOINCmgr will start twice which can cause problems.

You do realise that if you use fast switching (windows key+L), that BOINC will keep running and the next user, whatever user will have it running in the background, albeit at the very lowest priority.

let us know if it works.

Re: Changing BOINC Manager

Not sure why you are deleting a group of threads but perhaps it would be easier on EricaT if you send a list of the threads to WCG via "contacts". That way they can do the all at once and not miss any. Just a suggestion. coffee

astrolab, I am feeling worried for you. It seems you try to erase all the traces of your past history. Have you decided to quit WCG or our cruel world altogether wink
