I have logins for multiple users on each machine.
I have noticed that each login is working on a different data package. On some of my slower boxes, several of these datasets will never be completed because the user is seldom logged in.
Is there a way to get all the users working on the same data? Otherwise I need to disable Boinc on everything except the primary login.

Wouldn't this work?
Create a dummy user account, like Einstein, add a password, and assign him to the appropriate user group. Then delete any and all Boinc startup shortcuts and open notepad. Type the following in notepad:
@echo off
runas /noprofile /user:machinename\Einstein "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Boinc\boinc_cli.exe"
pause
then save the file to %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents And Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Boinc.cmd
Then logout and login again. Code might need changing a bit. But as the single instance is running under one user, it should be fine.

The new 4.25 client will install as a service automatically. This is probably the best way to go. If you want to display graphics you will have to change the service creditials to local system and allow interaction with the desktop.

Oh yeah, forgot about that.
