Is there any requirement that BOINC Manager 6.2.18 has to run only when you're logged on as an administrator?

That's way it's currently running but I would like to have BOINC run under a power user's account instead - I.E., I just want to change the account classification from administrator to power user for the user that BOINC is currently running under.

Thanks

Depending on how you installed it, it may be running all the time, even when nobody is logged on.

I installed it originally to run under the user under which it was installed. I switched this user from an administrator to a "limited user" and BOINC seems to be working ok.

Thanks.

I meant things like enabling Protected execution mode on the installer and other stuff.
