Ok guys, hope you can help me out here. I just setup folding on a computer to run at all times (currently as a service.) I want to be able to shut down folding when a certain program is started. I would perfer to be able to keep folding as service and have the service stop, but if that is not possible I can just have it run as a regular program at start up. So the question is, is there a way to shutdown a program (or service) when another program starts up?

    You'd have to make some sort of script that stops the service and starts the program. You'd need a seperate script for every program that you want to stop the service. It's much easier to just manually stop the service or not have it as a service and stick it in start-up or on your desktop something like that.

    Like kryyst says, the only way I know of is to write a script. I primarily used folding as a startup app, so I could close it when/if I wanted just by right clicking it on my task bar.
