I got rid of the graphic interface and I am now useing the no-nonsense console. Is there a way to pause the console when I need the full use of the cpu?

    Start running another program.
    If the natural inerupt isn't good enough then you will need to close it.
    I don't know of any other way to stop folding.

    You can pause it in Services :)

    Assuming you have F@H in the "Program Files" and name the folder F@H. A quick "stopF@H.bat" & "startF@H.bat"
    cls
ECHO Stopping service
ECHO.
net stop "FAH@C:+Program Files+F@H+FAH502-Console.exe"

    cls
ECHO Starting service
ECHO.
net start "FAH@C:+Program Files+F@H+FAH502-Console.exe"

    I just pin services.msc to the start box and stop and start it like that.

    You could put shortcuts to these two scripts on the "start" menu. Two clicks away from starting and stopping F@H...

    This sounds really good. I do have it in program files in a folder called folding@home. But you lost me after that. I do not know how to write code. Is there a special program I need to do that? thanks...

    Open "Notepad" and paste this into it... 
    cls
ECHO Stopping service
ECHO.
net stop "FAH@C:+Program Files+folding@home+FAH502-Console.exe"
    And save the file as something like "StopF@H.bat"

    Repeat the above steps to turn F@H back on with this code: 
    cls
ECHO Starting service
ECHO.
net start "FAH@C:+Program Files+folding@home+FAH502-Console.exe"
    And save the file as something like "StartF@H.bat"


    That's it... double click on the "StopF@H.bat" and F@H stops.
    That's it... double click on the "StartF@H.bat" and F@H starts.

    QCH2002, I tried exactly like you said. When I double click the .bat file a black box pops up for a split second and disappears. I checked to see if the folding program is running and it is not. I guess I am just to stupid for stuff like this. I will just go to the folder where the folding.exe is and use that to start and stop. Thanks for trying to help me....

    You may have to modify this line in each .bat file to reflect the actual path to where you have the console installed:

    "FAH@C:+Program Files+folding@home+FAH502-Console.exe"

    My script assumed that you have you Folding folder
    "c:/program files/folding@home/". If it is not there, then the script won't work unless you change the
    "FAH@C:+Program Files+folding@home+FAH502-Console.exe" line to match where it is.
