Download Startup Delayer 3.0 build 333

R2 Studios has released a new version of Startup Delayer. This program can modify the Windows startup process so that the user can access the desktop more quickly. One of the reasons Windows is slow to start is that many programs and processes start at the same time. Some of these can be turned on a little later, such as e-mail programs and quick launchers for, for example, OpenOffice and Adobe Reader. With Startup Delayer it is possible to specify the order of the programs to be started and to assign them a waiting time. This allows faster access to the desktop, while less important programs are loaded in the background a little later. Since build 330, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 3.0 build 333:

• Added auto tweak for Windows 8 so that any startup delay value is set to 0
• Updated the Update Available text to include the product name
• Updated the Disk Idle detection to use Logical disks. This fixes an issue with Raid0 split virtual devices
• Tweaked when the Startup complete message is shown
• Optimized the Running Tasks view by not querying Access denied applications mutliple times
• Updated Languages

Startup Delayer version 3.0 build 332 release Canceled

I’ve canceled build 332 until I get a better Installer process in place. I got excited as I upgraded to Windows 8 and the latest Visual Studio tools, but forgot that everyone would have to update their machines if they weren’t running Windows 8.

Changes in version 3.0 build 331:

• Fixed pause button on notifier not working
• Updated Languages: Italian, German and Czech
