Computer Information - Delay for program startup

01-24-2004, 07:50 PM

I think remember reading in this Ng some time back about a program that would delay other programs starting after computer boot-up
so there wasn't so much software congestion as the O/S was getting itself under way. For example the computer would fully boot and
then maybe a few seconds later other designated programs would start at selected time intervals in order of choice.

Am I remembering correctly?
If so is anyone familiar with the name of this program or where I might find it?

All help is appreciated,
Cheers

There is a task manager, which can schedule programs; perhaps that
might be useful.

I don't know of any but I have the same kind of problem: when my computer
boots, the USB driver doesn't get loaded. I have to load the drivers after
everything is done. I think my problem may be related to yours so I'm
hoping you get an answer.

	Delay for program startup I think remember reading in this Ng some time back about a program that would delay other programs starting after computer boot-up so there wasn't so much software congestion as the O/S was getting itself under way. For example the computer would fully boot and then maybe a few seconds later other designated programs would start at selected time intervals in order of choice. Am I remembering correctly? If so is anyone familiar with the name of this program or where I might find it? All help is appreciated, Cheers Mike the Kiwi Mike the Kiwi
