2.11 Folding with Windows
 To add a flag to your console client, right click on your shortcut to FAHXconsole.exe shortcut and select Properties.  Go to the end of the line in the Target: box, add a space and then the desired switch, including the leading hyphen. If you are adding more than one switch, be sure to use a space between each switch. Click apply and then close the window.  FAH will use the flag every time you start the console using this shortcut. If you are running FAH on more than one computer, you will have to repeat this procedure for each machine. See the FAH Wiki answer here. For a list of flags and what they do, go to this link. What are the current flags and what do they do?

When your WU finishes, you will be notified and can then send the completed unit. •Now you will need to un-install your GUI version by using the uninstall from the programs menu. •One final step to verify that the GUI version is completely uninstalled is to use Run>>Regedit and migrate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE_PandeGroup_Folding@home. This FAQ contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. •If the key is there right click on PandeGroup and delete. Reboot before installing the console client.  The key will be recreated when you install the console client. There isn't a difference in speed between the two if you run the GUI minimized, however most people report that they have less problems with the console client. To download and install the console client use this link Where can I download the Folding@Home Client To set up the console client, follow the steps found here. How do I install and setup the console client? Additional note: If you have ever had a GUI client installed on the computer, to be safe, please use the -local switch in your startup command line for any additional client installed, just to make sure the client looks for work in the correct directory.

got feedback?by jazzman916 It's slow, somewhat buggy, and unreliable. This client is only folding when the screen saver is active, whereas the other clients run in the background all the time and will not interfere with your other computer activities! If, even after the caveats, you insist on running the screen saver version, you can find setup instructions at the Stanford site »folding.stanford.edu/winstructions.html. Note: The new GUI client version 502 has a built-in screensaver feature. Instructions for installing that version can be found here.
