Make Prime95 continue after finding a factor?

Using Prime95 to do ECM factoring work, it stops when it finds a factor. Is there any way to have it automatically continue running ECM curves to keep the machine busy overnight? It could find the same factor again, but it might also find new factors while I sleep.
