Hi, everyone. This may sound like a strange question, but, here goes. I am running climateprediction on 2 machines, one running Vista and the other XP. While making backups I notices that there are different numbers of files and folders in the “boinc” folder in each OS. The Vista version has only 47 files and folders, but the XP version has 92 files and folders. 44 of those files are shortcuts to other files and folders. Is this normal or did most of the program get doubled somehow? Could this have something to do with the difference in the way that VISTA and XP store files. Both seem to be progressing normally.

Are you attached to the same projects on each computer?

Dear Mike

I mean other Boinc projects such as Cosmology - they\'ll have their own set of files which sit in the Boinc folder.

I am not presently attached to any other projects except climateprediction.
