Congrats Klutz. You da man and the Big Dog.

Being inspired by all of you I approached an aquaintance of mine who uses 7 computers in his biz. A couple new - most old. Short of the long - finally got them assimilated this evening. ( I learned a lot )

His only gripe - "OK now go talk to your team mates and find out how to get this stuff off of my desktop!"

So what is the cleanest way to gather up all the files and work folder and hide them without a problem for FAH? XP on the systems in question.

Anxiously waiting for the afterburners to kick in -

FreeAtlanta - we have been leap frogging each other while you are blowing everyones doors off - congrats to us for passing the 10K milestone - now I think we will rise together - gotta find more CPU's.

Too much fun - hey DU - what's your problem?

B

I think I know what you are talking about. Did you install F@H to the desktop? I usually create a folder called C:\folding and install to it. As far as hiding something that is already on the desktop, you might try right clicking the icon, then selecting properties and then selecting hidden and apply. I tried it and it made an icon fade a little. It might not show up the next time I reboot? Otherwise, you might stop the folding program, create a new directory and install there. Some of the others might have a better suggestion. Good Luck and congrats on borging some more computers.

Currently, my well is dry and Chris_Primavera is breathing down our backs. Fortunately, I made top 50 before he passes me!

Log in as Admin. Download and run console. Run as service.

Log off. Let user log on.

Go to task mgr. - FAH should be using 99%CPU time. No need to have tray icon or console window open.

If you see files on your desktop that read "FahCore_78" and "client.cfg" that you have a simple fix.

Copy the new FAH files (based upon the date timestamp) to a folder called F@H. Run the file "WinFAH.exe from that directory and all of the files will be using the new directory. Erase the F@H files from the desktop and he is clean.

Please do not erase every file from the desktop. One of my customers did that in an attempt to move pictures she had downloaded from her camera.
