Service Mode

Post by Rockinfroggi »

I'm sure I read somewhere that if you run Boinc in Service mode you can hide the icon in the system tray, would I be right in assuming you would stop Boincmgr.exe from loading at start-up via msconfig/start-up and if so, how would you then access Boinc Manager when you need to perform changes?

Yes, you can delete the shortcut to boincmgr from startup, no more icon :thumbup:
If you then want to run boincmgr, just select it from the start menu or create a shortcut to it BUT when you exit from it, select File/Exit rather than hitting the X
