Reviewed by: CNET staff on October 05, 2009
Quick Startup provides the tools for speeding up a computer by singling out slow-moving startup programs. With a basic setup and impressive results, this program will certainly make a difference.
We were pleased to discover the program's interface was incredibly simple to operate, housing its few commands on a single, intuitive screen. This was a blessing, as the Help file's tutorials were brief and not very useful. Quick Startup listed every program that starts running when we turned our computer on. With each, we were given a simple one-click option for delaying it. The programs were given a simple rating based on how slow they moved and this was our guide for delaying them. Once restarted, we noticed an increase in speed and that the sluggish programs waited a few minutes after startup to begin. The program provided a helpful feature that managed all our scheduled tasks, such as updates and virus scans. We were able to customize this and presumably increase speed ensuring no two ran at the same time. Overall, the program was simple enough for novices to understand, but provided results that all level of user could appreciate.
Quick Startup is a freeware program. With simple controls and immediate results, we highly recommend this program.

Version: Quick Startup 2.7.0.686
"Delayed programs never start"
Pros: Great idea and really speeds up startup (I'm running XP). The user interface is well laid out, intuitive and easy to use. The links to Scheduled Tasks and Local Services is a good addition.
Cons: I only gave this two stars since the programs I put in the delayed list _never_ start. If I can't get this working, I'll likely uninstall Quick Startup. The on-line help is lacking.
Summary: Significantly speeds startup and nice user interface but delayed programs don't start.
If I can get it to work, it would be nice if (i.e. I hope) there's some indication of when the delayed programs actually start (and have the optioin to enab... read more >> - See 1 user review Write review
