You can delete selected programs from the list and in case you change your mind, simply start over. The delay information is displayed on the status bar.

LaunchLater

LaunchLater (v1.3) Beta does the same job of delaying the startup time of applications. The 1.145MB freeware does require that you have .NET Framework (ver.4.0) installed.

LaunchLater is very simple: you add the applications you want to delay and specify the delay in seconds. But the simplicity also entails a bit of work, because you have to manually browse to the executable of the application you want to delay the launch for.

Startup program delay is just one of the roles of this well rounded security app, WinPatrol (ver.18.1). WinPatrol’s overall role is to monitor your computer for any changes and issue alerts. Scotty, the system watchdog, sits on the taskbar and watches out for threats. Malicious software, harmful ActiveX controls, suspected key loggers, spyware etc can be kept at bay using WinPatrol. WinPatrol does not scan but takes a system snapshot as the basis for its heuristic monitoring of the system.

WinPatrol has a startup monitor that lists all the programs that load with Windows. You can simply right click on the program(s) and move it to the Delayed Start list.

Next, on the Delayed Start list, you can right click on the program and set the delay time for the program.

  1. Thanks man! Works great!

  2. Soluto is good

  3. Just wanted to say a quick thanks for mentioning my LaunchLater app! It was an idea that I had with some coworkers back in May and I decided to make it a pet project and open source it. The new version went live earlier in the week and the next iteration should come soon. A couple of friends have joined the project and are contributing code to make importing existing startup apps a cinch, as well as adding the ability to control Windows services.

    • thanks for coding such a useful app!

  4. Unfortunately .. After multiple attempts to install Soluto on my 64bit Vista pc .. and failing, I've given up trying to find out how well it works!

    This doesn't appear to be a problem just for me either .. many folks, according to the responses at the Soluto forum .. are having the same aggravating installation problems.

    What is the difference between what this (Soluto) application does as compared to say .. StartUpDelayer?

  8. While these sound great, I would highly recommend Soluto. It measures how much time each program takes during loading, lets you know what each program is for, and allows you to ether stop it from loading, or delay it. The interface is really great, and I couldn't say enough to support them
