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!
