Of all of distributed.net's projects, how do I dedicate my PC to RC5?

From the Start menu, choose:
Programs -> distributed.net -> Quick Commands -> Client Configuration

Type 2 and press Enter (Buffer and Buffer Update Options)

Type 9 and press Enter (Load-work precedence)

In the New Setting--> field, Enter OGR=0,RC5-72

This will configure your client to ONLY check for RC5 keys (as opposed to OGR, DES, etc.). Once the RC5 contest is complete, you will need to reset this value in order to contribute to the next contest.
