BFGMINER start auto in background [hidden]

[lethalmd]

I have added the following in my target section to bfgminer 5.0.0

-S opencl:auto -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u myuser101 -p littledickjoe --set-device 5

 I added a new string value in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] got it to automatically start, how do I get it to run in background?

You can use "cgwatcher": http://coinmyne.com/software/cgwatcher/
It allows you to hide the bfgminer window.

It depends only on .NET framework, if i remember correctly, which is installed in Windows by default.

thank you for your quick responds, cgwatcher is not what im really looking for. im trying to avoid download software, hoping i can be able to add a command line or have bfg start as a service for windows rather than a program.

Run -> Task Scheduler -> Create Basic Task -> Enter Name and description -> Trigger to "When the computer starts" -> Start a program -> Locate BFG, add arguments. Click Task Scheduler Library to find the task you just created -> double click. Click "Run with highest privileges" and "hidden" if you don't want it visible.

I don't believe opencl will successfully work as a service. Usually mining with GPU can be done with logged-in user...
