Situation - Computer I bought for my 20yr old college sophmore daughter. She's agreed to run Folding on it (and I've only set it at 80%). But WHOOPS forgets to fire it off after a game, etc. It's a 2.8Ghz DELL w/ XP Home. Darn thing cost about $300 so I should get some production out of it.
I'd like to set it up to run FAH w/o any advanced options as a service without it showing up anywhere anyhow.
Right now I run it as a scheduled task, to begin at startup or after 10 minutes of idle. Yet FAH* still shows up in Task Manager Processes tab.
She has been known to blame the program on slow net access, and kill it, when none of the other 5 computers could access the net at all.

Mailer - And can anyone think of a Windows app that would essentially run a chron job to mail me the logs ?
Essentially "mail < fahlog.txt newbury" in unix.
I could use this for several computers.

If I got my math right :)
 
I did that a long time ago in Outlook, did it with "rules". Damned if I can rembember how at the moment, but it wasn't that hard.

Might I suggest a better HSF then what Dell provides? Don't want your $300 investment going up in smoke :D

Oh, and dare I say this? "Dude, you bought a Dell>? :rolleyes:

Oh, L. Perry's EM can be set to "report" to the web..you can check progress ;)
 
Maybe you can find a way to make the service check to see if it's running like every 5 minutes and restart the client if it's not detected.

I'd also like to know a way to make it not show up under the processes tab though.
 
You could probably fiddle with the account privlages to make sure that she can't stop the process if she doesn't need an administrator account.

As for hiding the process, being able to hide a process from the task manager would be such a huge security hole that microsoft would have done everything they could to make it impossible. That being said, there are very few problems without solutions. ;)

*Note to mods*
I am posting this link for use on a computer gnewbury has rights to control and I am not in any way encouraging people to use it for illegal purposes. If it is still against the rules I will take it down right away if asked.
*End of note*

Naw she needs to have admin rights, and I guess I mean more like "renaming" the core.

And BillR - yeh, I bought a Dell, and I feel ashamed. However - at street prices:
Monitor - $350
CPU/MB - $200
Memory - $50
HD/CD/floppy - $50
Case/PSU - $50
Video - $75
Total - about $775,
I paid about $750 all told - plus now I have the 2 or three year warranty, when she is far away at college, to call DELL and she will have it fixed in 1 day.
