I have used Startup Delayer for many years, and am now on the latest version. It solves problems when you have a lot of programs trying to start up at once, such as disappearing icons or strange error messages. I usually have about 8 to 12 icons showing in the tray. If you only have a couple, you may not need it. But it is a life saver for me, and does not increase total startup time if you arrange the time intervals properly, it just keeps programs from tripping all over each other.

Hi, I'm the author and I just wanted to clear some things up.

I created Startup Delayer way back in early 2001. So for any of those asking why Startup Delayer exists when there are other applications out there?

Well it exists because I was the first one to come up with the idea of delaying applications and hence I created Startup Delayer.

Unfortunately I named it literally and therefore it confuses people why you would want to slow your pc down :) I'm thinking of renaming it soon.

As to the Interface, sorry the interface has only changed in small amounts of the last...7 years. Hence it looks rather dated still.

Thanks for all the comments and reviews though, its good to hear feedback.

Although total startup might be delayed, you can arrange to have your more important programs start sooner and begin using your computer while less important programs load later after the majority of your system is up and going therefore improving your productivity. This program does a fair job but I prefer another.

Startup Delayer is a great little utility and is now Vista compatible. One user asked what the purpose is. Well, for openers, it allows you to organize your startup entries the way YOU want them (not how Windows makes them start by default), including how they are arranged in your system tray after they are loaded. I want icons arranged a certain way in my tray for a very good reason, and this program accomplishes just that... NICE WORK, Cliff !

This program does exACTly what its title says.
It delayed my startup to about 3 times the normal time when windows manages what starts when.

Is there a use for this ?
