RC5 Question

[Muerto]

I have a shortcut for RC5 in my startup menu right now. How do I configure it so that it will begin running automatically when my computer boots up? Thanks. 🙂

What you need to do is install the client as a service. Using windows 'run' command type
"c:\program files\distributed.net\dnetc.exe" -install
Thereafter, the client will start up invisibly when Windows starts.
Since the client will be completely hidden from view, these other 2 commands will be of help.
"c:\program files\distributed.net\dnetc.exe" -shutdown This will stop the client.
"c:\program files\distributed.net\dnetc.exe" -svcstart This will start the hidden client after you have manually stopped it during a Windows session.
And finally "c:\program files\distributed.net\dnetc.exe" -help will explain other command options, there are a lot of them. 🙂
Good luck.

Or you could just put dnetc.exe in the startup folder.

Thanks guys. With a shortcut in my startup folder I don't get the cow icon in my system tray, which is what I want. I'll try your suggestion viztech. Thanks again. 🙂

Muerto, use Explorer to find the StartUp folder, right-click on the shortcut, and select Run: Minimized, then Apply. That should do it too.
