He's a programmer, so he's not exactly a n00b. He knows both ways of shutting it down. I previously used the graphic version. My mom claims her computer is slow at times, even thought I set it to idle and use only 90%. You're not going to notice Folding running just surfing the web or playing lotto games. She has 448MB RAM, 1.4G Celeron. The bottleneck in her system is the HD, it's a WD 9GB 7200 RPM. Mobo has BX chipset, only ATA66. Might have to get her a new HD and ATA 100/133 card for Christmas.Quote:

Thing is there's no way of hiding CPU usage in the task manager. Even if you changed the name you'd still see the CPU usage listed under processes. Uninstallung the program would also work. So the only solution would be to protect it. She leaves her computer on 24/7 so there's no reason to not leave it running.
