Once a service has been installed, you must stop it before you can modify any of the settings (responses to questions) that you originally entered.

1. Shut down the folding instance through the Services manager snap-in.

There are several methods to get to the services snap-in as follows.

  • Click Start -> Click Run -> type in services.msc -> Click OK.
  • Click Start -> Go to Settings -> Click Control Panel -> Double Click Administrative Tools -> Double Click Services.

Find the service entry for folding. By default, it will be something that starts like this: FAH@......

To stop the service, use one of the following methods.

  • Click once on the Service to select it -> Click Action -> Click Stop.
  • Right Click on the Service -> Click Stop.
  • Double Click the Service -> Click Stop.
  • Right click on the Service -> Click Properties -> Click Stop.

You should see the Service stop.

You can then minimize the services snap-in, or close it.

2. Change the settings
Once the service is stopped, you can start the client interactively and change the settings. See How do I reconfigure the console client options?

3. Restart the service
When you have the settings as you want them you can restart the service by rebooting or as in step 1 (above) simply click or Start
