Hi.
I just discovered that there is possibility to run BOINC as a Windows service and keep graphics and screenserver avilable.
I openend service proporties and switched "Login as" to "Local system account". Now, task manager shows BOINC and projects processes as SYSTEM, screenserver works correctly, displaying project application graphics.
I hope that it is not a bug.

Oh, I almost forget. I have to check if I still can use remote managing:)

It's the known workaround on BOINC 5.xx.xx, as described here.
We've been pointing people to that for a long while.

It won't work on BOINC 6.
