Seti@Home optimized science apps and information

I've finally managed to install the optimized seti@home version. However, I notice it runs under its own account, and so I have not found a way to prevent it from launching on startup. Is there a way to prevent it from doing this? I do not run seti on a regular schedule, so I only want seti running when I manually launch BOINC. I know I can suspend seti in BOINC, but if there's a way to avoid these extra clicks... well, I'd prefer that. I've done some quick Google searches, and I've also searched the forums here, but this doesn't seem to be an issue for anyone else, so I've not found any threads discussing this. Perhaps I haven't been searching hard enough, but whatever the reason, I haven't found a solution yet.
If anyone has information on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

In Boinc Manager, Click 'Advanced>Options...' then untick 'Run Manager at login?', then Click O.K

I have always had that unchecked. I notice that it's not necessarily the BOINC manager running, but rather three instances of AK_v8b_win_SSE3_AMD.exe, the actual executable that does the work. These processes also run under a separate account, "boinc_project"

How have you installed Boinc?, is it as a Service?

Aha! Excellent question... though I don't remember. I'll check services.msc and mess around with that, at least for now. I'm thinking this is the answer.
Whether or not this solves my problem, well... thanks for putting up with me so far (and for the help, of course.)
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED! Changing the BOINC service to manual did the trick. Thanks!
