Anyone know how to keep Boinc Manager from opening in my taskbar when I
start up my computer?  I have to open the software and close it again
every time I start up my computer in order to remove it from the taskbar

Need some help here....
Since seti@home changed to the new BOINC system, my computer has yet to
start processing a single new work unit.  All the instructions seem to

helpful.
