Maximum PC

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there was a way to just run F@H in the background, as a service, without having the graphical client icon in the system tray. I just installed it on my little sister's computer, and I'm afraid she's gonna mess around with it.

If i put a shortcut to the core.exe file in my startup directory, would that do the trick? or does it not function by itself, without the client program running? any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks ahead of time

There is probably a registry key that you can change to make it disappear. I have no idea which one though.

No idea. . . . might I suggest the CLI client?

1) Download F@H CLI.
2) Put it in a discreetly named folder.
3) Get this program, which hides FAH4Console.exe from the taskbar and put it in the same folder as FAH4Console.exe
4) Rename FAH4Console.exe to FAH3Console.exe
5) Create a shortcut to hidefolding.exe and put it in the Startup folder of your start menu.
6) ...
7) Profit!

thanks for the replies guys, and i will try your suggestion later today, ghostwheel.

thanks again

Excellent question by the way. I was trying to figure out how I could get the Folding to run when my wife turned on her pooter without her knowing. If she knew about it, she'd say Hey! Look at the neat pictures! and then start clicking on everything. lol

Are you an underpants gnome?

That's how they work you know,
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2:
Phase 3: Profit!

Lol, I love underpants gnomes, unless of course their stealing MY underpants!

HK-47, the hidefolding thing is working great, but i have one more question;

is there any way for me to use hidefolding and still be able to use those tags (-local -advmethods -forceasm)? the hidefolding thing only works directly w/ the console.exe file, and it won't work with a shortcut. thanks for the help, btw, i really appreciate it

i hid the graphical client of F@H by using a program called Reshacker. i then proceded to change all Icons to invisible ones. so now it runs in my dads system tray as a block that blends in perfectly

i'll look into it tomorrow, toidiochysp.

it's late now and i'm too tired
