I know I can change the setting for notifications but the icon can still be accessed via the task bar if you click the 'arrow'. I believe there is an option upon install to deal with this kind of situation, correct? Do I have to re-install using this method or is there a setting I can change in BOINC or W7? I am fine with the program being opened via the program/start menu. Thanks! ID: 1338608 ·

Otherwise, start the BOINC core from the command line at login (I don't have the switches for this memorized). In the UI, uncheck "run manager at startup". BOINC WIKI ID: 1338625 ·
