I just got a new computer and am slowly getting off the old one. There is a folding project running on there, I don't want to just abandon it. Is there a way to tell it to complete the project it is on and then not start a new one? That way, I can let it finish what it's doing before I take that computer off the network and part it out. ideas?

If you're running the graphical client, you should be able to right-click on the icon in the systray, and then select "pause when done". That way once it's finished with the current WU it should send the results and just wait for you to tell it to proceed or stop. I'm sure the console version has a similar capability, but I don't have that one here at the moment.

If using the GUI version then follow ken's advice - right click on the gui flower and select pause when done.

There is also a selection inside the configuration tab of F@H GUI. Right click the flower, selct Configuration, select the Connections tab and select "Ask before using Network". You may get several requests to send the work results up. After the results are sent then stop the process.

You can also restart into Safe Mode and copy the entire folder to the new computer via a jump drive.

If you are using the console version you need to edit the registry, or boot into Safe Mode and copy the folder.
