Question Auto-start F@H

I have F@H running 2x on my computer. I have a shortcut to both in my startup folder but if both start at the same time the second one will close and I need to manualy start it. How can I get both to start without closing?

You could do what I have done, install Firedaemon and make both of your F@H clients Services that run at startup. Less clutter in the toolbar and same if not better performance

What clients are you running? I've autostarted one of each with no problems before. Using two Consoles, I give each a different shortcut name. Wonder if that would help? Do you have the "-local" tag in your shortcut target lines? Just throwing stuff out there...

They both have -local at the end. The names are the same but one of them has 2 at the end.(console) Im having trouble getting that firedaemon thing working, I can only get 1 of my F@H things working. I was thinking maybe a batchfile that waits a couple of seconds then starts the second one, could I do that?

I don't remember ever hearing that problem before. Maybe try posting it at the Folding Forums to see if one of the gurus there can help.
