Super easy way to run F@H like a service

For Windows users only (Win2k and possibly other versions):

Go to Control Panel / Scheduled Tasks.
Click on Add Scheduled Task.
Click Next, then Browse and locate fah4console.exe.
Name Task as you wish and click the "When my computer starts" radio button.
Click Next, check the "open advanced..." checkbox and Finish.
Go Settings tab and uncheck "Stop task if it runs for..."
DONE!

No windows will popup on the next reboot. No .REG files to add. No .EXE's to download. You just need to have the client already configured. I have 2 instances of the client running on my dualie using two scheduled tasks.

Cheers,
Leo

Does this list it with all the other Services, letting you stop/start it if need be?

We now have a third way to skin the cat. Good job Leo.

No, but it will be listed under the scheduled tasks control panel. From there you can start and stop as you wish. Only issue is that if you stop, then start it again after windows has booted, the client will become visible (IME).
