CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
We like the functionality of this program, which gives you a fine degree of control over the applications that launch at Windows start-up. You can choose which ones start, change the start-up sequence (useful for letting smaller programs launch before the big, slower applications), and set delays between application launches. Though Startup Faster 2004 may cut down your start-up time, the gain isn't dramatic. In our tests, Windows took 10 percent less time to start up. More tinkering may produce better gains and a lot will depend on how many programs you have set to automatically launch. The interface is clear. We like the help tips that appear when you mouse over elements of the interface, and it's convenient to be able to access the properties of a start-up item by right-clicking. If your system launches multiple applications at start-up, this program will help you fine-tune it and may gain you some boot-up speed.Publisher's description
From URSoft :Startup Faster 2004 makes your computer boot faster by launching your start-up applications one at a time rather than attempting to do them all at once. Sometimes more than 30 programs run at the same time. You can fully control how quickly programs launch (from one second between launches for fast computers to many seconds for slow computers). The program also comes with a start-up manager, so you can take full control of the start-up programs and enable, disable, or permanently delete them. With this program, you will hardly hear the noise of your hard disk when you boot up. Your system is instantly ready for use.
Version 2.1.9 fixes a conflict problem with NAV and Zone Alarm.

Version: Startup Faster 2004 2.1.9
Cons: Doesn't download. Tried many times. 'pcfaster' doesn't have a trial download either. Only buy. It seems to be a scum to me. Also what is says it can do, you can do it by typing "msconfig" on RUN on XP. I don't see what's the big deal with the program.
