P.S BOINC is runing fine:) The BOINC "Account management systems" can be found there, with a vague explanation. It's a work-in-progress. ID: 183340 ·

Now mi head hurts:( Lot of help that did. But tahnks:) Even if you uninstall a previous version of BOINC your WU's are still in your folder and will not be deleted, the only way to delete them is to manually do so. Go ahead and install the new Version and smile! Now Doc don't do anything stupid remember you'll always get the question "Are you sure"? thats when you know you did something you shouldn't.....

That's plain silly! And to make things worse, they didn't even bother to TELL us that you can just click on the "x" to make it hide. I'm a PC Tech and I've ALWAYS been taught that the "x" shuts down the running app, not that it'll close and hide the app! That's VERY counter-intuitive! Whoever thought of that idea needs to be taken out behind the woodshed and flogged! ID: 185441 ·

I suppose you just never dared touch it for fear of shutting down all your crunching? (sorry for the scolding tone, I really didn't mean to poke fun...) I do think it would have been better to expose it as an option and let the user choose whether to hide or shut down when pressing the Close (the big X) button. That option might have drawn your attention to the possibility. ID: 185580 ·
