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 launch them all at once. As you may know, sometimes there're more than 30 programs launched by Windows at the same time, which caused Windows boot up very slow. With Startup Faster 2004 you can fully control how quickly programs launch and how they launch. It also includes a start-up manager, so you can take full control of the start-up programs and enable, disable, or permanently delete them.

Version: Startup Faster 2004 2.2.9
"Excellent program with room for improvement"
Pros: Delivers on it's promise. Personal tests with and without "Startup Faster 2004" confirm that the system starts up faster when the applications are launched one at a time. The ability to disable entries makes it a good troubleshooting tool as well.
Cons: No support for startup profiles. I use it on a laptop and there are startup entries that I don't want to load while docked and others that I need loaded while on the road. The lack of startup profiles makes this a manual process. No support for applicatins that start as services.

Version: Startup Faster 2004 2.2.9
"How to use this for Guest Log-in?"
Pros: I have been using Startup Faster for administrator log-in account on my computer and it is a good software to have. I just like to know how to apply this software to Guest-user log-in account. Anyone from its company knows? please send to my email Tom_q2356@yahoo.com Thanks very much
Cons: The only I can think of is that it does not let you add in a new software to the Startup faster program.
