I converted Speedfan to an executable.

It opens, but I expected it to browse to my mb, display properties, as the
others do. It does nothing.

For those of you that installed it- how is it supposed to work?

SpeedFan is a program which runs and stays resident.
I have it installed and it runs at startup.

You can find SpeedFan v4.28 at:
http://www.almico.com

From the SpeedFan documentation:
"What it does:
SpeedFan is a freeware program that monitors fan speeds and
temperatures in computers with a known monitoring chip. Its main
feature is that it can control the speed of the fans according to the
temperatures inside your pc,thus reducing noise and power consumption.
SpeedFan can also access S.M.A.R.T. HD data and temperatures (if
available).

Thanks, it probably has to be installed. In this case I have an
executable HD Health that basically does the same job. In W2K, like XP,
there are so many processes running, I try not to add to them.

Memory usage when running is ~4mb on my system (per Task Manager).

What SpeedFan does well is to monitor and control the various fans.
In my case that's two (CPU and sidecase). Two others aren't monitored
thru lack of MoBo wires. When I boot up the system from cold, it turns
down the fans until the system warms up, then it turns them up at
variable-full-throttle to keep the temps down to my desired settings.
There's a bunch of tabs on the open application for settings and other
data - eg SMART stuff, voltages etc.
