Folding without being logged on possible?

[Mauli]

If i actually got my school to fold for me, i am just wondering how that is going to work. Is the computer able to fold while nobody is logged on? becuase we are all logged out after 20min idel time...

It should. It runs as a service i believe so it will be running in the background anyway.

EDIT: Tells you how to set as service... http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=759399

You need admin privledges to run as a service. Maybe running a scheduled task "at startup" would work better under your regular privledges.

the admin is gonna install it.. or ill get a password from my IT teacher, well see... ebcause then it wouldnt fold when nobody is logged on

Then a service-installer would be perfect.

Just so everyone knows, when you run the 5.02 client for the first time, it asks you if you want to install it as a service. Once you answer yes to that, you're all set. It installs it and sets it to run at startup, whether someone's logged in or not.
