On step 2 the local policy window does not pop up correctly, I get MMC could not create the snap-in. The snap-in might not have been installed correctly. (This is a company laptop, not mine. They have been taking away security privileges. Over the past year.)

You could either try installing boinc to a different folder, or install boinc on a different machine (with the program and data folders located together) and then copy this onto your laptop and then just put a shortcut to boinc manager in your start menu...

Does BOINC modify the registry? If so, I would also need to find and modify the registry keys.

it does, but boinc manager will add the necessary keys if missing. I move installations around regularly - no need to do anything else. Of course you can't run as a service this way, but is fine if you're starting it from a shortcut.

You need to reinstall to implement BOINC as a service (there are workarounds to register as a service but i've not used any for a long time and reinstalling is usually simple enough).

The final option, if you can't register it as a service, but want it to run when no-one is logged in, is to run it as a scheduled task at startup.

I tried copying the files, but it did not work. I had some errors copying some of the files because even though I closed boinc on the computer that I was trying to copy from, I still could not copy some files...do you know what files are important to copy?
