W2K stealth install help

Cuper · Jan 27, 2003

hey guys, just installed Win. 2k on my parents computer that I built for them and was wondering if there was a way to not make them click the "X" when it first starts up? I am not trying to hide the fact that I am running seti on thier computer just would like to make it more user friendly on startup.

Thanks

Brad

yeah, you can either set it as a service on Win2k since you have the admin access.

or use SETIHide and run it on startup either using startup folder or registry hack.

Or make it even more user friendly by convincing them that it's healthier for the computer to be on all the time than it is to turn it on and off every day (as most experts agree is the case.) The added power consumption from one computer being on a few extra hours a day is negligible.

Yeah, I remember at another site someone calculated the actual cost of running a single machine for an entire month, it ='d out to be 2-3 dollars if I'm not mistaken.

Hehe, trust me already done

They don't care. If I wanted to heat the house with computers they would let me

My dad even asked me if there was a way to put seti on a SunFire 4810 server that was sitting in his office before he retired

Now that is LOVE!!!

GT2000 - 110 watts * 24 hours * 365 days * .10 kilowatt (lets just use that as an avg.) = $96.36 per year / 12 months = $8.03 per month.

You can tell them that this new antivirus "SETIDriver and SETISpy" is needs to be running all the time so that it scan in real time your HDD and all the incoming-outgoing information from your house
