(And I do not get annoyed at you, not at all - you have a VERY different approach than me - interesting though) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-40167 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:18:46 +0000 SarahJames 40167@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I'm sorry, whs, flameing was too big a word. We just are different in our ways, but I have a feel you get annoyed at me and I don't see why that is. I had a rough day, so I got annoyed.<br /> Let's shake hands and make up - we can be different ok? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-40163 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:57:04 +0000 whs 40163@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Sorry you see it that way. There was no intent to "flame" you. I just was not sure whether you had a chance to study the other benefits of the program. But since we do not seem to be compatible, I think it will be best if you do your thing and I do mine. No hard feelings, whs </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-40161 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:44:07 +0000 SarahJames 40161@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Well, whs, my life isn't difficult, thanks for the concern ...<br /> I don't think it is wise to install a program with a ton of features I don't use just because I would like óne single shortcut to be delayed for a couple of seconds. There are easier ways of getting things done on a computer than installing multifunctional programs for every tiny little thing you want to get done and end up with several programs that do exactly the same. They are bound to get into trouble at some point because something was changed in one program and the other didn't have it changed and gets upset when things get changed behind it's back.</p> <p>And you have a habit of claiming we all live in free countries and can do as we please, but you make it sound like you wish we weren't.<br /> This is the internet, not all people that do have access to a computer actually do live in a free country. Please keep that in mind.<br /> And what do you get so upset about, whether I do or don't install a certain program?<br /> I appreciate getting advice, but that doesn't mean I'm obliged to take it.<br /> And I don't appreciate getting flamed every time I don't take your advice or have a different point of view.</p> <p>Goodnight,<br /> Sarah. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-39911 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:51:48 +0000 whs 39911@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have no problem if you want to make your life difficult. You probably have not even read the documentation to understand what the program does/can do and why it is sitting in the notification area. Btw. It's easy to get it out of there if you delete it from the start-ups. But then you don't get the protection. But we all live in free countries and can do as we please. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-39902 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:27:55 +0000 SarahJames 39902@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Sorry, whs - thanks for trying! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-39901 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:25:51 +0000 whs 39901@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>You are not easy to please. I like useful clutter. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-39898 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:22:35 +0000 SarahJames 39898@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@ whs - Tried WinPatrol, but that's not really my cup a tea. Just another app to clutter my systray:(</p> <p>@ Scott - Erunt runs at startup and creates a backup, then closes again. I'd like it to wait 20 seconds.<br /> I don't know if that falls into the category 'program' or 'service' ... </p> <p>And is it just me or did the font of this site just get a whole lot bigger? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-39897 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:18:26 +0000 Scott 39897@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Do you want to delay a program or service? (I know you said program, just making sure) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-39896 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:17:09 +0000 whs 39896@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>It is a very handy application. Read their good documentation a little - you might like it.<br /> PS. You then have to ,of course, disable the normal start-up for this program. This you can do in the Start-up tab of WinPatrol - much handier than msconfig. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-39890 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:57:31 +0000 SarahJames 39890@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>umm, where do I find WinPatrol?</p> <p>Edit: Oh, I get it, it's just an app for download .... LOL </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-39887 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:44:46 +0000 whs 39887@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>With WinPatrol you have one tab for delayed Start ups. You can make a list. I have never used it, but it sounds easy. Just go to "ADD". </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delaying-a-program-at-startup#post-39883 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:35:17 +0000 SarahJames 39883@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Somewhere I've seen a description of how to delay a program at startup, but I forgot where.<br /> My shelltools from Moon Software won't appear in the systemtray if erunt kicks in before the shelltools are all started up. So now I'd like to delay erunt a bit - like 20 seconds.<br /> How do I do that? </p>
