    1515The installer has a "Allow all users on this computer to control BOINC" checkbox.
    1616If checked, then all users on the host will be able control BOINC (i.e. attach/detach projects) using the BOINC Manager.
    17 Otherwise only the user who installed BOINC or an administrator can control BOINC, and other users can only monitor the BOINC client.

     387 * Why was the 'Launch BOINC on startup' option removed from the installer?
     388
     389The 'Launch BOINC on startup' option actually started the BOINC Manager, so on systems where BOINC was being installed as a service it was being ignored. Most people do not understand the difference between BOINC and the BOINC Manager. Most people who install BOINC want it to run whenever they are not around.
     390
     391To keep things simple we decided to remove the option and setup the system so that both BOINC and the BOINC Manager are started at system startup or logon, if the users want to change this behaviour they can delete the BOINC Manager shortcut and/or change the service properties via the service control manager administrative tool.
