Suggestions For Delaying Startup Programs?
Apr 30, 2012
I just purchased a new Acer 4830TG (i5 2.5 GHz) and immediately replaced the HD with a SanDisk Extreme (550 MB/s read, 510 MB/s write).I have certain programs in the Startup folder- Excel workspace (6 spreadsheets) for my business, Word, Firefox (with approx 35 tabs) and Thunderbird. I like to hit the power button, enter my password, then go make my coffee and come back to find everything loaded and my morning emails all downloaded (4 different accounts).Except now Firefox and Thunderbird are loading so fast the wireless network has not finished connecting before they start sending requests, and of course I am getting network connection errors.I can't believe I am actually having to ask this, but does anyone have any suggestions for freebie programs that can delay the loading of programs in the startup folder? Or tell me how to write a batch file of some kind that call these programs with a delay scripted in?

Is there anyway to remove or delay these annoying tooltips when hovering over anything in windows 7?They are seriously annoying and useless. I remember i had the same problem in win xp and never found a way to disable all of them. I was hoping this would change in Windows 7 but seems like it didn't.

Whenever I want to install a program, my computer takes forever to show the window that guides you through the installation.For example, I download Firefox, Double-click the .exe installation package and then nothing happens for literally 4 or 5 minutes. Eventually the wizard installation window will open and allow me to install by clicking Next etc. But why is there such a delay for the setup window to initially appear. My computer never did this when it was brand new.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
I have CPU-Z, Hardware Monitor Pro and Resource Monitor shortcuts in the startup folder.
If I go to MSCONFIG I can see that the items are there to be started during startup.
What am I doing wrong that will not allow these programs to start up?

I'm considering getting a new HD. It's not urgent -the existing one is functioning ok - so I have time to take on board any ideas you all may have.
It would be my boot drive - so I am looking for something fast, reliable and was thinking of Wd Caviar Blue 640gb.
The reviews are good - e.g. this one
Western Digital Caviar Blue (640GB) | Hard disks / storage | Reviews | Custom PC
and the price is better than it was - do the fancy cables they want to sell with it make any diff?
Western Digital Caviar Blue 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD6400AAKS))
Western Digital Caviar Blue 640GB SATAII 16MB Cache: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
Some of the posts here don't rate WD for reliability.

I want to be able to clear some of the tag suggestions from the automatic explorer list.Eg:When tagging photos and you mistype a tag (e.g., you meant to type "Mom", but instead you typed "Nom" or something like that). Even if you delete the tag on the file, the tag still shows up in this suggested list of tags in the Info Pane's tag edit box. So, whenever you go to tag a photo the auto-suggest list shows "Nom" with the other recently used tags.I found this for vista but the label assignment file isnt under photogallery How to clear tag suggestions - Windows Live Photo & Video Blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

Currently have FireGL V3350 which there are no ATI-provided Windows 7 drivers.
It does seem to work OK though with the automatically installed drivers.
Thinking to upgrade to something a bit more up to date, what would the team suggest?
This is for basic office/development work with 2 19" viewsonics so need 2xDVI. No gaming and would prefer something with passive cooling.
Any thoughts?

There are some programs that I need to run at startup, but they tend to need to be run as administrator. I have dragged the shortcut into the startup folder, but this doesn't start the program. Some apps that I need are RealTemp, Gigabyte Dynamic Energy Saver2, and Gigabyte Easy Tune 6.East Tune 6 does seem to start itself at startup, even though it needs to be run as administrator if I start it from it's shortcut, and I don't get a UAC window, so there must be a way to configure startup for these kind of things. The DES2 app also runs at startup, but not always for some reason, so I would like to add it to the startup list to make sure it's running. I have followed the windows instructions for adding programs to startup, and I have also checked the "run as administrator" check box under compatibility, but neither of these seems to do anything.
I'm not sure why you have a "run as administrator" check box if you still get asked if you want to run as admin even when it is checked. Why have a feature that doesn't do anything? I'm not sure that the entire UAC feature is supposed to do anyway, other than annoy you when you do something that microsoft would rather you not do.

I am running W7 Ultimate 32-bit. I have two programs that have stopped running on startup. One is 'everything' - a better search engine, the other is 'Karen's Time sync' - a clock sync program. I have UAC enabled and when they did run, they asked for permission to continue. Now they don't run at all unless I start them manually. Autoruns says: Everything is in HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun Time Sync.lnk is in C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup

Before Windows 7 I could simply go to Task Manager, then to the Startup tab to check or uncheck whatever programs I didn't want running every time I turned my computer on. But now with this OS that tab isn't present in TM, and a search of "Startup" doesn't bring up anything.
I got directions telling me to go into folders in Windows Explorer that don't exist, so that dead-ended.

Start>msconfigWhich startup programs are vital, and which aren't at startup? I'm trying to optimize the flowof the system, and from what I've been told, not all programs are necessary, forsafe and efficient, pc performance.My system configuration STARTUP tab reads:Launch ManagerMywinlockerRegistry MonitorHD Audio Control PanelSearch ProtectionCatalyst control center (Which is fairly annoying I must add with the pop ups at startup)Super AntispywareSynaptics pointing device driverVprotect applicationYsearchprotectionPlease note that I have more startup programs, however they are programs like:OoVoo, Skype, Acer arcade...Entertainment programs, and programs I can dowithout an initial startup. The ones I did list, I'm not completely sure if theyare vital programs, I couldn't afford to do without an initial startup. In a nutshell, of the programs listed,which are strongly reccommended to be enabled for startup?

in windows vista I could block startup programs i didn't want using up system resources, but with windows 7 I cant find a way of doing that, I understand its always a good idea to have normal startup mode instead of selective in misconfiguration. but in vista I could simply block programs in component services but the ones I want to block are not even listed in windows 7! is this the wrong place to look or is blocking startup programs not an option in windows 7?

I have looked and looked and I can not see a way to add links into the startup folder. If i use Windows explorer to navigate to the Startup folder, I am told I do not have authority to access it (I am the administrator and only account on the system). Nothing in control panel seems to apply so how is it done now ?

I know about MSCONFIG.
the problem is, when you use MSCONFIG to deselect programs from starting up, you force your computer into "Safemode".
I once used a ms command that allowed me to disable enable all programs that start up with windows, other than MSCONFIG.
It did not force my windows into Safemode.
which command is it that allows you to disable programs from starting up with windows,
BESIDES MSCONFIG ? anyone know.?

I just finished cleaning my PC of Malware with the help of Gringo over in the Security section and while running a program (TFC) my computer froze twice and when I tried to boot it up started the start-up repair. After it was done some of my programs didn't work correctly. One of them was Windows live essential(MSN messenger & Windows mail) I tried re installing and when tried to install again it gave me an error "Couldn't install programs.

I like listening to an online radio station (through Windows Media Player) every time I use my computer. So, I put a shortcut to the playlist file in my Startup folder.But, even though I selected "Run: Minimized" in its Properties dialog box, it always runs in a normal window. (Then I manually minimize it.)So, how can I force the shortcut to open Windows Media Player in a minimized window
