After installing I do not get an option to log out, and or to change what account I'm using. I've tried uninstalling, but the account information remains no matter what I delete. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Henry

I don't quite get what you want.
You install BOINC and then what?
Or you go to Seti's website and then what? If you want to log out of your account at Seti's website, you can do so at the top-right corner, just underneath STATISTICS in the menu bar.

Uninstalling BOINC will not delete anyone's account at any of the projects.

If you mean you want to change the account BOINC should run Seti for, you can do this through:
Open BOINC Manager.
If Simple View, click Projects, select Seti@Home, click Project Commands, click Remove.
If Advanced View, click Projects tab, click to select Seti@Home, click Remove.

To then add it back on another account:
In both views, click Tools menu, click Add project, select Seti from the list, click Next, click No, new user if you want to add a new account, or Yes, existing user, and fill in the details of the account you want to switch to, click Next.

Removing and then re-adding an account for a project in BOINC Manager will abort any tasks in progress, so use "No new work" and finish up any in progress tasks before doing that.

Hey,

Thank you! I was referring to the Seti project account on the Boinc Manager. I will do that now.

Thanks again!
