How do I ensure that BOINC will run for all users of my PC?

1. During the installation of the BOINC software, there is an option for Protected Application Mode. This will install BOINC as a service and will start automatically when the computer starts regardless of who is logged in. However, this option will not let you do any GPU work if that is option you want as well.
----------------------------------------2. Otherwise, you will need to choose All users can control BOINC option during installation. 3. If you did not choose that option, then you would need to add each user to the boinc_users group within Windows. Both options 2 and 3 allow GPU work if you have the option. Edit: Also, both options 2 and 3 means a user has to be logged in for BOINC to run as well. So, if everyone logs off...the PC will sit idle.
