    Not a bad program. A better use of your time:
    1. Reduce the number of times that you start your machine. sleep it, hibernate it, etc.
    2. Put your startup programs on as many different physical disks as you can.
    3. Get more cores. Each new core will help with multiple programs running in sync.

    @ Undesired Username. For 'such an obvious bug' this is actually the first I've heard about it! I do have a Contact page on the website where you're more than welcome to report this.

    I'll have this one fixed for the next beta release.

    Perhaps if you have any more obvious bugs that you'd like to report, you could send them to me there? I don't often scour the comment pages on the various software archives that my software is available on.

    Been using this little beauty for YEARS and can't imagine living without it. I'm a nut about having my startup apps line up 'just so' in my tray, and this utility allows me to accomplish just that. THANKS, Cliff ! ! ! Keep up the great work !

    Some people have whined that I wasn't specific enough about reporting bugs I complain about, so here is a 10-second test:

    1. Set a shortcut in the Startup folder to have a particular and non-default "Start in" directory.

    2. Install and run Startup Delayer.

    3. Set a delay for the shortcut in step 1 using Startup Delayer, then click the "Start Over" button to remove the delay. The net effect of this is that the Startup shortcut will have been deleted and then recreated, with its information (supposedly) recorded in the meantime.

    4. Note that the original "Start in" directory has been lost, and reset to that of the installation directory.

    7 years and still such an obvious bug?
