How to hide dnet client?

[rc5]

Does anyone know how to hide dnet client from system tray and start up folder under win9x?
I remember there's way to hide the older version, but the newer version seems always showing up.

ya go to start>run and type "C:\program files\Distributed.net\dnetc.exe" -install

then restart the computer and wala its a service, and hidden from view.

 

[rc5]

Then how do you know it's working? 🙂 I have other machines using the same email address.

Just restart the computer. It now runs as a service and will always run, even at the logon screen.

If you want it to start right away without restarting, just do dnetc -svcstart.

Narzy,

I put mine in a Windows folder, usually C:\Windows\Dnet\, thus you don't need the " " in the command prompt.

You don't HAVE to restart if you:
after typing "dnetc.exe -install" type "dnetc.exe -svcstart"

shame on you, messing with a person's uptime stats. :Q

Oh wait, it's Windows. Nevermind. 😛

Then how do you know it's working?

1 - if you watch cpu activity in sysmon.exe, it should be at 100%
2 - if you use wintop.exe or another task manager, it shows the % of cpu used by the client, and how long its been running.
3 - if you want more accurate info, have the client generate a log by adding the lines

[logging]
log-file=dnetc.log
log-file-type=fifo

in the dnetc.ini file. The log will never exceed 100K in size. So you'll be able to see when it's been running, at what speed, etc.

okay, so nobody can close dnet when he is curious. 🙂
