Hello All; my apology for not realizing that there were more questions about this -- adding the switches to the GUI string. Here's what my Desktop Shortcut looks like:I figured out why some of us are getting errors. Your desktop doesn't look like mine, perhaps you are using Vista? I am using XP and the path for the shortcut comes in quotes. The mistake I (and anyone else getting the path not found error) was putting the switches in the quotes like this
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winFAH.exe -verbosity 9 -advmethods"
The way to get the switches to work is by putting them after the quoted path, like this:
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winFAH.exe" -verbosity 9 -advmethods
I guess I won't know if the switches actually work on the AMBER core until I start my next work unit, I figured this out in the middle of a run.
Now the next question is where do we find the list of available switches and what they do?
Glad you got it working, seems all of the Windows boxes I've ever worked on behave just a little differently. I am using WinXP SP2, but with the Classic/Modified Theme. My shortcuts don't have the quotes, yet I know others do -- I have no idea why the difference.
As far as the extra info, like Switches, Tools, and Tips are concerned, go get registered at http://foldingforum.org/ and look in the F@H Wiki in the top links -- lots of info there:
How do I know what the client flags (-switches) are and what they do? -- WIKI

Make sure you verify them and they are setting correctly, or you could lose points. If you have any questions, then use the Forum to get answers; there's a good bunch of folks there, as well as the Pande Group jumping in and giving info.
From Tools I grabbed FahSpy and have that running for my house LAN, tracking my three processors; works great.
Keep Folding !
