Delayed Startup of Windows startup applications
Are you experiencing a loooooooooooooong startup of Windows due to the startup of not-so-important applications, like OneNote or Adobe Gamma Loader? Or maybe you want Microsoft Office Outlook to run automatically after Windows loads? Fear no more, there’s a quick app by Clint Rutkas called “Delayed Startup” which will help you!
From his blog,
“Why did I create a delayed startup program? After I saw all the stuff my manager had booting up on his computer, I thought this may be useful. His computer really wasn’t terribly usable for a good 10 minutes after a reboot so I decided to spend a few minutes and create him a nice program while I’m at a .Net User Group meeting (they had free food and it was 1 floor up in my building). My theory is most of the programs in your startup folder aren’t actually needed asap. I don’t need OneNote open right away, I don’t need a bunch of other stuff right away. The nice thing is now I can have Visual Studio, Outlook, IE, and a few other programs I run everyday not impact me restarting my computer’s bootup time since they’ll do a gradual loading sequence.”
More information of Delayed Startup can be found at http://betterthaneveryone.com/archive/2007/10/29/delayed-startup.aspx , which includes the Setup program.
