I set boinc up to run only when I'm logged in as administrator. This was a mistake, as I only log in as such when I'm installing or removing software. I want it to run whoever's logged in (I'm one of four in my family) and, if possible, when no-one is logged in. Is this possible? Total newbie, so sorry if question is stupid. Thanks muchly, Ian

I don't think this version including such function .... either wait for new version or remove it and install again.

Just for reply.I'm an aged SETI@HOME user ,but i'm a BOINC newbie too.You'd better wait for an official answer.

Shut down BOINC. Reinstall

Shut down BOINC. Reinstall over the current install as a SERVICE. This will run whenever the machine is booted, even if no one is logged in.
