So I've downloaded Coretemp 1.0 RC6. I went ahead and changed the settings so that Coretemp may start when the computer turns on. It turns on fine, but there are three things that I cannot find out what to do.

1. Whenever the program turns on, a coretemp notepad opens up as well.

2. I cannot get coretemp to start minimized.

3. This one does not happen every time. I get a window on start up saying another instance of coretemp is running.

I have searched through the forums and messed with the settings countless times (maybe 20...) and I just cannot find the solution. I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me on any of these.

Thank you, Sincerely Omar Khan

1. What's a Core Temp notepad? Please explain.
2. Go to Options --> Settings --> Display --> enable "Start Core Temp minimized".
3. By default Core Temp will only allow a single instance of it running. You'll get this message if you try to run Core Temp again while it's already running.
There is an option in the settings to allow multiple instances to run simultaneously.

For some reason, every time i open coretemp, a notepad document opens with it. taking about coretemps features.

Do you mean a 'Core Temp.ini' file appears on your desktop?
It's Core Temp's configuration file, it is created automatically if one doesn't already exist. When you delete this file, all of the configuration settings you've changed are reset.
You should put Core Temp.exe into a folder on your hard drive and only drag out a shortcut to your desktop.

I would like to thank you for taking your time to answer my questions.

So i have been able to to have CoreTemp start minimized thanks to your instructions. As for the other two, I am a little confused. So I made a folder on my C-Drive and placed the CoreTemp exe file from the program folder, that was also on the C-Drive, into this new folder, But it is still opening the settings notepad file. And for the "another instance of CoreTemp is running" window, I get it when CoreTemp opens on startup. Does this mean my computer is trying to open two CoreTemps or trying to open core temp twice?

Thanks again, Sincerely Bromar

Update:

After several restarts, I have finally got it all working!! Thank you soo much!

Where is that setting file appear? It should be there right next to the exe.
