Password Protect from Closing out and Making Changes

Post by josephanterola »

I guess this is more of a feature request than anything else. But long story short, I have several computers and all are very fast machines but my family also uses them and closes out of the application because they think FAH slows down the PC... I wish there was a way to lock the program from being closed out and keep it from having changes made to it or prompt for a password etc.

Welcome to the F@H Forum josephanterola,

If you are running only the CPU slot, then you can install it as a service so the user will not be able to view it as it runs in the background. Is that a feasible option for you?

A service install is a valid solution as long as you are not GPU folding which will not work running as a service.
