Download Startup Delayer 3.0 build 362

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. The changelog for this release looks like this:
