This is actually an idea (yet) that I may done (if I managed to have some free time)
I do not like to have autostart programs in registry, I move most of them into MenuStart\Programs\Autostart
but the main problem is that computer (especially poor ones) slows much when there are many programs, because the run just one after another
so the idea is to create program where you will be able to set links to programs and waiting time between autostarts of them
(for example then in autostart you put 1 link to the program that runs all other with a pause time between running)

why would you use a delayed startup entry? it would only slow down the boot up.

He wasn's talking about delayed startup entry. He was talking about having only one program auto start with windows and that program launching user desired programs one at a time at the set time interval between each. Such an app would be nice.

it's more like trigger_my_passion said
if too many apps starts the same time then it's killing your PC ... why not start some of them few seconds later that others ? |

You can do something like this with a batch file and wait.exe
CODE start c:\windows\notepad.exe wait 5000 start c:\windows\sol.exe wait 1000 start c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r I will attach it here  When I get some time I may look at coding something up

this is actually intresting it can help with certain things such as du meter, winpatrol and the mini apps.. which can load up like 1 min after boot which imo isnt bad at all.
