xaero Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Looking for an app that changes the order of start-up applications on windows XP.... i did some digging but didnt turn up and results.. all i can find is a bunch of ways to do it manually.. is there some kind of software that does this for u? i mean just re-arranging the order of apps ..?

digip Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I do not know other than with an ini or bat file, how else you can prioritize startup programs. Best bet is add them to soemthing like autoexec.bat or create some sort of file with the order you want them started in and place it in your startup folder under the start menu or in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun section for all users or HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun for the current user sign on. What are you doing that you need a certain program to have started before another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaero Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 well thanks for the info anyway.. i'l figure it out somehow.. its nothing important.. i have styler, xpize and launchy installed.. i want styler to load first and xpize to load second so my fonts and tiled icons stay transparent..finally launchy should load last so it wont look messed up..

digip Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Maybe whip up a little vb app that you can add a timer to it so it waits for each to load and then launch the next one. Could also be done with a bat file, im sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yeah, use a batch file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
