I have a machine setup with no monitor, and I set F@H to boot on startup in my user one profile.

I then connected to this box with my other PC using remote desktop. For some reason I can't logon on as user one (just some username/pasword crap I am sure), so I logged on as administrator.

Once in windows on the drone mahine via RD, I noticed that F@H did not appear to be running. Of course hitting ctl-alt-delete is useless, as it shows processes for the actual comp ....... not the drone.

I then started F@H via RD on the admin account.

My question is:

Am I now running two instances of F@H, one in my admin profile, and one in my user one profile.

To phrase differently:

If a program is running on a machine in one profile, and you log on via RD in another profile ........... would you not see the program running?

Thanks.

I don't think I can answer your question but I think this will solve your problem.
Try moving the shortcut from your admin (or user one) login's startup folder to the all users startup folder. Then, no matter which login is used the same WU is being folded.

How bout moving the monitor and stuff over just to check? And set folding as a service. Have the console mode have the tag -service along with whatever other ones you use. I personally use -forceasm -forcesse and -advmethods , they sure help speed up the folding process.

Yup, there are several installer packages that install F@H as a service, this eliminates any need to run it as a user, it always runs regardless of who's logged in.

BlueTentacle have it, this is Google's cached version of it, seeing as the real one is broken right now.

RD doesn't have any way to sent a Ctrl-Alt-Del to the remote computer? Check on that, I find it hard to believe that ANY MS product would dare to remove that ability... I know PCAnywhere has a button that will send it.

Also, if you right-click on an executable, it offers you the opportunity to run it as another user, but if you have some sort of password issue, that might not work for you, then again, you ARE the admin...

Sounds all to complicated to me - I just use VNC. Thow this in the startup folder with Folding @ Home and all is well. Never bothered with remote desktop, doesnt sound like I could figure it out anywho.
