At C:\ProgramData\BOINC>all_projects_list.xml

the gpugrid project (there are others)

needs to have
<url>https://www.gpugrid.net/gpugrid</url>
instead of
<url>https://www.gpugrid.net</url>

Is there a way to update this w/o having to edit the file? I looked at 8.0.2 and did not see a project list update option.
I do not want to reinstall BOINC to get the latest project list.
The option "modify" is grayed out for BOINC in the windows add / remove applications. That would be a nice way to update a project list.

Possibly the projects do not bother to inform anyone of their URL change other than popup 100 of notices to the user.

I assume I would still have to detach and then re-attach to the project.
