Running Boinc invisibly

TheDogFather · 23 Feb 2006 at 16:58

In easy terms how do I set boinc up to run so theres no icon or other sign of it. Task manager etc. is ok, as they wouldnt be able to find that with GPS a map and a 3 month head start.

Just want no sign of it from the desktop and nothing showing at start up. Its a single user machine with no password.

Nope it wont have it, the no password causes a problem. I tried installing with a password then deleting it from the user account and the sevice.msc thingie, still not haapy.

Sussed it in the end, add another account, give it a password, install Boinc, go to services>Boinc properties>log on and change it to local system account, then delete the new user account.

Thank you all.

You could give it another name though, like bsmon.exe or something. But anyone who could spot Boinc in there will surely notice their CPU at 100%.
