its called not letting anything run at startup, and just clicking the buttons on your own when you need the app. thats what i do anyway.

Well...it appears a little more complex than that; it does save some time, I just tried it...and it loads things incrementally and precludes nothing fully.

Thisss....is a lovely little thing ,this utility! Tiny file and does so much! Entirely configurable.....wut it does is allow U to choose each and every thing U have chosen to start with Windows, allow each to remain, or have IT, the utility, launch the entry ITSELF! And...cutest/most delicious thing...U CAN DELAY THE START BY FROM SECONDS TO MINUTES TO HOURS! (OK, U would have to be clinically insane to do the hours....but I luv options!)

I began by letting it launch both one of my 2 printers after my main apps....and also Unlocker.

We should not leap.....before we look....cause we could maybe miss some lovely stuff....also FREE!
Anything that can trump Windows.....and do it so meticulously/selectively with WE deciding.....earns my admiration!

It's gettin cuter!

(OK, I get huge kick out of little things)

Not only can you time everything starting with Windows.....only leaving Windows loading things U need immediately.....but the utility SPEAKS! Well, OK, generates little sign, C attached, upper desktop....counts down the seconds!

YOU HAVE LIMEWIRE?!

I just disabled the programs I don't want running and only start them when I need to. My system starts up plenty fast so I doubt there'd be a major increase in speed.

Hey....

Yes, Limewire. The paid 4 version. I like it; it works. The frogs like it too. Because it is green.

I luv this new utility., LUV...cause I want access 2 everything I have chosen to start with Windows.....but postponing only 2 has made my boot time significantly faster! I luv this. Also music....which takes up the biggest portion of my HDDs. I also feel less at the Mercy of MS because of this new cutie I found.
