I accidently clicked "no" to this option during installation and I can't figure out how to change it. I've gone through all the preferences both on the Web and on the program and I can't find it. I know I have to be overlooking something. Any help will be appreciated.

Go to your BOINC folder and create a shortcut for boinccmd.exe, then move that shortcut to the startup folder.
Then try a re-boot to confirm it works.
Other than that uninstall and reinstall to the same location, you won't loose settings or work.

a shortcut for boinccmd.exe

I hope you meant to type boincmgr.exe, Andy? :-)
