How can I make the seti cli program start up automatically when Windows boots?

[brinstar117]

After a month of convincing my brother, I've finally gotten him to agree to use his spare CPU cycles. I use the CLI version and have installed it on his computer as well. However, he's not as enthusiastic about it as I am so I doubt he'd remember to run it every time he starts up his computer. Is there a way for the program to automatcially run and not show up in the taskbar? I'd rather have it in the system tray. Thanks guys!

Are you using SetiDriver? If so just place a shortcut to it in the startup folder.

Just tell that shortcut to run minimized and he'll never see anything except a little green 'antenna' in the Systray. 🙂

Or, if you want to go even further and have him not see anything at all, you could try one of the service installs.

SETIDriver would be the best option ,but you could use 'hideit' to put the CLi in the systray with shortcuts to both in the startup folder.

Service install is great, using low priority it would be difficult for anyone to know its even running.
